The last regular season match-up of East Helena’s 2025-2026 basketball campaign was one for the ages. In a taught, back-and-forth thriller, the Vigilante boys fell to Butte Central, 71-69 in overtime. And the girls cruised to a 53-25 victory over the Maroons.

The Vigilante squads enter the playoffs with identical records, 10-8 overall and 6-4 in Southeast A. The divisional tournament starts Feb. 26 in Billings.
