Glacier Holds Top Spot as Postseason Approaches

Rankings begin to solidify as football regular season winds down

By Dillon Tabish

The Glacier Wolfpack remain undefeated and the No. 1 team in Class AA, while Bigfork moved up to a tie for fifth in Class B.

The latest Associated Press high school football polls were released Wednesday, and not much changed across the separate conferences.

Class AA appears to be solidifying while Class A has seen some minor shifts as the postseason approaches.

Glacier (8-0) travels to Great Falls (2-6) on Friday before returning home for the regular-season finale against Flathead on Oct. 31. Flathead hosts Missoula Sentinel (2-6) on Friday.

Columbia Falls (6-1 overall, 2-1 in conference) caps the regular season at Polson (3-5, 1-2) on Friday. The Northwestern A champs, Whitefish (6-2, 3-0), hosts Libby (2-6, 0-3) on Friday night.

Bigfork (6-1, 3-0) hosts Thompson Falls (2-6, 2-1) on Friday night.
