Minty’s Predicted Winners…
- Hellgate
- Bozeman
- Butte
- Helena
- Capital
- West
- Mount Spokane
- Senior
Last Week: 5-2, Overall: 5-2
What To Watch For…
- Belgrade opens up the home portion of the schedule with Helena High. The Bengals will be the first AA opponent of the season to visit Belgrade.
- The Hellgate Knights officially open their season at home against Billings Skyview after a Week 1 bye. The Knights beat the Falcons 41-27 in Billings last year and look to be the favorites in this one as well.
- Glacier takes on Mount Spokane, out of Mead, Wash., in Kalispell this Friday. Glacier was scheduled to have a bye with Bozeman Westslope on the schedule, but choose to play the Wildcats instead. Mount Spokane went 8-3 last season and lost in the second round of the 3A state playoffs.
- The Senior High Broncs make the long trek to Missoula to take on the Sentinel Spartans. Senior battled Helena Capital to the final whistle in a close loss last week, while Sentinel topped Great Falls High on the road. Look for a track meet in this one, as both teams possess plenty of speed.
Minty Tidbits…
- Bozeman High defensive end, Kenneth Eiden IV, opened up the 2019 season with 4 sacks against Flathead High last week. Eiden, a junior, led the state in sacks last year with 21.
- Capital High’s Parker Johnston had himself a game last week in Billings. The senior receiver/defensive back tallied 5 receptions for 171 yards and two scores AND snagged two interceptions (35 and 40 yards), both of which went for scores!
- The Flathead Braves were shut out last Friday by a loaded Bozeman Hawk squad. The Braves haven’t been blanked since 2015, when they were also shut out by a Bozeman Hawk squad; one that went on to win a state title.
