- Two days before kickoff, Daily Inter Lake sports reporter Luke Schmit sits down with Columbia Falls Wildcats head coach Kelly Houle, quarterback Banyan Johnston, and running back/linebacker Tripp Ross ahead of Thursday's season opener against Fergus at Grizzly Stadium in Missoula.
Coach Houle breaks down why this team is "weeks ahead" of where they were a year ago, the brotherhood culture that drives the program, and what he wants to see change after a playoff run last season - starting faster instead of building momentum late. Johnston talks about sharpening the details in his game and stepping into a senior leadership role for the Wildcats' freshmen, while Ross previews his downhill running style, a veteran offensive line, and a defense built to play fast with Jackson Cadwell and Daniel Contreras up front.

- The Bigfork Vikings are two days into fall camp with a new starting quarterback, a young roster and a season opener against defending state champion Frenchtown looming on the horizon. Keeping Score host Luke Schmit sits down with head coach Hunter Johnson, first-year starting quarterback Alex Ochs and receiver-corner Rye Rodriguez to talk about a summer of work that has this team ahead of where it was a year ago.
Johnson explains how a state championship baseball season - one he coached alongside several of these same players - shaped the next-play mentality he's building into this football team, while Ochs and Rodriguez open up about stepping into bigger roles, the underclassmen who are turning heads in camp and why they're treating a matchup with the defending champs as just the start of the season rather than something to fear. Johnson also breaks down what a successful season looks like beyond the win-loss column.

Keeping Score host Luke Schmit sits down with Bollweg and seniors Luke Dalen and Austin Alton to talk about who's stepping into those leadership roles, how the offense has grown more complex, and what fixed the communication issues that plagued the defense a year ago.
Dalen breaks down the offseason work that turned him into a more complete quarterback, including the mental side of reading coverages, while Alton details the defensive communication that's already paying off in practice. Both seniors reflect on the swings of last season - a late collapse against Columbia Falls and a signature comeback win over Bigfork - and what those games taught them heading into a rivalry matchup next Friday. Bollweg closes with why he's more excited about this group's leadership than almost anything else hap...

- It was a defensive battle from start to finish, and Glacier running back Trey Ramey was one of the Wolfpack’s biggest offensive weapons. Ramey powered through 26 carries for 104 yards in Glacier’s 6-3 overtime loss to Billings West at Legends Stadium, earning him Poster Player of the Week honors.
