Flathead and Glacier will be well represented at this summer’s Knights of Columbus Badlands Bowl as a total of seven players were named to the Montana squad for the annual Montana-North Dakota all-star showcase, set for June 15, 2019 in Miles City.

The Braves, who reached the state championship game for the first time since 2000 this year, had five players picked: running back Blake Counts, offensive linemen Sebastian Koch and Andrew Siderius, defensive lineman Patrick Hammond and defensive back Jaden MacNeil. Glacier will be represented by offensive lineman Nico Young and defensive lineman Ethan Baines. Preston Blain (Glacier), Cole Crosby (Glacier) and Anthony Jones (Flathead) were chosen as alternates.
