Finishing their season on 5-2 run, including narrow losses to Timberline and Clark Fork, Mullan was was playing their best basketball at the end of the year, much of it due to the solid play of North Star All-League selections Luke Trogen, Alex Trogden, Floyd Nelson, and Austin Zingler. Luke Trogden was named co-MVP for the league.
