Radio host suggests segregated games

GREAT FALLS, Mont. — A Billings radio host’s suggestion that Native American basketball teams should have their own postseason tournaments has prompted a show of solidarity at the Northern Class C Divisional Tournament.

KCTR-AM radio host Paul Mushaben posted on the station’s website Tuesday that a recent tournament crowd was “so unruly and disrespectful of the facility that it may be time for the (Montana High School Association) to proceed with an all Indian tourney.”

In response, members of the basketball teams from Power, Belt, Heart Butte and Box Elder locked arms at center court.
