BUTTE — Earlier this postseason, Saco-Whitewater-Hinsdale saw its 73-game winning streak snapped. But the Mavericks aren't ready to relinquish their throne atop Class C girls basketball.

In their pursuit of a third consecutive championship, the Mavericks ran past Denton-Geyser-Stanford-Geraldine 53-27 in the semifinal round of the state tournament Thursday at the Civic Center.

In the other semifinal, Roy-Winifred dispatched Scobey 46-35 to set up a rematch of last year's championship game.

Scobey, which ended Saco-Whitewater-Hinsdale's long winning streak in the District 3C title game earlier this year, was trying to set up another grudge match with the Mavericks. But it wasn't to be.

Instead it will be championship déjà vu from last season, a game which the Mavericks won by 31 points.
