Once again, the top-ranked Class AA schools ticked up their win numbers to keep all five teams undefeated after three weeks. Friday’s games were marked by some big high-scoring blowouts. Missoula Sentinel routed Butte 52-7, Billings Senior took down Belgrade 59-21, Helena tossed Missoula Hellgate 55-14 and Billings West tore through Gallatin 70-0. This week features the Billings cross-town rivalry game, which will likely send one school out of the rankings.
In Class A, Columbia Falls snuck into the Treasure State Media Poll top five after a 48-14 rout of Browning. The Wildcats will face off against undefeated Hamilton this week in what’s sure to be a competitive game. If the Wildcats pull it out, there will be a strong case for them to be a contender in the state tournament.
There were no major changes to Class B rankings this week. No. 4 Florence-Carlton will take on defending state champion Eureka this week, although the Lions haven’t shown the same force they did in 2019.
