Looking toward Friday’s Western AA football matchup with Helena Capital, Flathead coach Caleb Aland figures the Bruins probably got their bad game at Legends Stadium out of the way.
The 17th Crosstown football game is unique in that it has a Thursday night kickoff instead of Friday. It also sets Flathead’s unique offense against a Glacier team with a unique set of skill players.
A couple sophomores stood tall in Missoula Big Sky’s 21-20 Western AA football win over Flathead Friday at Legends Stadium. One was Big Sky’s 6-foot-2 quarterback Avery Omlid. The other was Flathead's 5-7 Jordan Griffin, who did about everything except kick.
It makes sense for the Flathead Braves, a one-win football team a year ago, to be only looking up this season. Especially if they look outside the hash marks.
