Dear Billings County Families and Community Members, At the start of the 2023 year, North Dakota went to a three class basketball system. Class AA, A, and B. On February 19, 2023, the South Heart School Board voted to remove themselves from the Heart River Co-Op for both boys’ and girls’ basketball in order to play in class B. With that being said, Billings County School District is looking to continue our Co-Op with Belfield in both boys’ and girls’ basketball. The HR Co-Op will remain in place for the volleyball, football, golf, track, etc. There will be a public input meeting on March 2nd at 6 pm, held in Belfield’s gymnasium. All are welcome to attend in order to gather information, have questions answered, or just to voice your opinion. We are looking forward to this opportunity and will be working closely with Belfield to make these up-coming seasons great for our student athletes. Thank you, Billings County School District
