PABLO, Mont. — Sunday presented a sweet feeling of accomplishment for Andrae Domebo and Dani Augare.

 

Domebo provided the necessary inside presence to help lift the Salish Kootenai College men’s basketball team to the championship of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium national tournament and Augare led the Lady Bison to the women’s title.

 

Domebo celebrated with his teammates at midcourt following their 100-92 victory over Blackfeet Community College of Browning, Mont. He posted a double-double with 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Bison, one of his best games since joining the team in January. He is a student at Salish Kootenai College, taking his courses via satellite from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash., but made the trip here to the Flathead Indian Reservation for the tournament.

 

“It feels good. It feels really good,” Domebo said his team’s win. “This is a brand-new gym here at SKC and we wanted to come out and represent it strong. We all worked hard throughout the season and we all deserved this.”
