The Montana Tech Orediggers have landed at No. 16 in the Top 25 Preseason poll released by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).

The wait is almost over. Friday Nights in Uptown Butte are about to get a little more exciting once again. We can almost feel the change in seasons in the air as fall rolls in and kids prepare for their inevitable return to classes. But with school comes sports and football season can't come soon enough for the rabid fans of the beloved Butte High Bulldogs. Following a season that saw the Bulldogs advance to the quarterfinal round of the Class AA Football Playoffs, Butte High School has released its 2023 football schedule.

The Butte Central Maroons have posted their 2023 football schedule and the upcoming season will see a total of 9 regular-season games on the docket, 4 of which will be home contests.

Montana High School Director Brian Michelotti denied the renewal application for the Flint Creek Titan Football Co-op.

You'd have to be living under a big rock in Montana NOT to know the Brawl of the Wild is this Saturday in Bozeman! The thing about it, though, is that some Bocat/Griz Fans are more prepared and organized than others. Hence, the ones ahead of the game purchased their tickets weeks ago for the game, had their tailgate festivities planned out, and booked hotel reservations way in advance. Serious gamegoers even know exactly what "team logo" layers of clothing they plan to wear to match weather conditions. Then there are the "winging it" Bobcat/Griz fans. The ones that procrastinate purchasing tickets for whatever reason and then end up with NONE. Yet, because they love a good Bobcat/Griz football matchup and want to be part of the festivities, they make every attempt to be there in the flesh even though it would have been easier to maintain some level of organization by purchasing tickets and a hotel room in the first place. Or so I've been told. Lol!

It is a big weekend for Football in the state of Montana, and not just in Bozeman. Five state championships will be awarded between Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Out of those 5 state title games, one team has the opportunity to repeat as state champ.

The start of last Saturday's Montana Griz Football game against Calpoly mirrored the definition, "THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM," in TWO WAYS. First, although cooler temperatures and a sense of winter were already in the air the night of November 5th's game, the wind was oddly calm. Then, just like that, in true Montana style, giant snowflakes dominated the field by the 2nd quarter at Washington Grizzly Stadium, leaving fans confident that Calpoly was about to take a beating. Undoubtedly, the showdown Calpoly endured had everything to do with "Griz Nation" skill. Seemingly though, the winter wonderland that prevailed during the game added nicely to their throwdown. By the time all was said and done, the Griz walked away with a 57 to 0 victory over Calpoly.

Another week of playoff football, and another familiar playoff opponent for the Bulldogs of Butte High School. The Dogs are on the road again this week to take on the Bruins of Helena Capital, for their second meeting this year. Capital rolled to a 41-0 win back on Sept 30th...

Week 1 of the MHSA playoffs are in the books and there were a handful of upsets

This is going to sound like a load of garbage, but there are very few things I enjoy more than a football stadium. I love (almost) all of them. They are like fingerprints, every one of them is different, they all have their own traits that makes them stand apart...
