The Dillon Beavers put a damper on Senior Night Tuesday at the Maroon Activities Center.

Dillon swept a Southwestern A doubleheader with the Maroons. The Beavers beat BC’s boys 49-46 before the Dillon girls topped the Maroons 46-28.

The games close the season for both teams.

BC, Dillon and Frenchtown will finish in a first-place tie at 8-2 in conference play on the boys’ side. All three will advance to the Western A Divisional tournament, which is March 5-7 in Hamilton.
Central’s girls will play a play-in game against Stevensville at 6 p.m. Thursday at the MAC. The winner of that game will go to Hamilton for another play-in game on Saturday.

The Dillon girls previously punched their ticket to the divisional tournament.
