SCHOOL: Flathead CLASS: Senior POSITION: Quarterback HT/WT: 6’3’’, 210 LBS
Quarterbacks receive most of the attention and accolades but the true test arrives when adversity arises. The Flathead Braves experienced a di cult year in many regards, going 3-7 in a competitive Class AA eld. Through the season’s ups and downs, the team’s second-year starting quarterback
held his composure and kept the team united on and o the eld. He passed for 1,555 yards, including a season
high 277 against Helena Capital. In a thrilling four-overtime victory over Great Falls, Bridger was 11 for 18 for 194 yards with two rushing touchdowns, including the game winner. “Being a leader, you have to bring it every day, during practice and during games,” he says. “You can’t show weakness. You got to make sure everyone is on the same page.” That leadership is what attracted the interest of Montana Tech, and Bridger has committed to play quarterback in Butte next year.
