(Daily Press file photo) Montrose team in state championships: For the first time since 1951, the Montrose High School Indians boys basketball team is competing for the 4A state title. The team has been undefeated this season. "I'm still in shock — I told the guys in the locker room, 'this is a compliment to your guys' work ethic, putting up with me yelling and screaming at you for the last four months. You guys have bought into that culture and what needs to be done,'" Montrose coach Ryan Voehringer said postgame. "They've earned it." The championship match will be played this Sunday against the No. 5 team, the Mead Mavericks (14-3). To view a bracket of the postseason with stats from every game, click here. The game will be live-streamed on nfhsnetwork.com with a $10.99/month subscription.
