An All-of-Montana Effort on Defense This Year

One nice bit of trivia: Our top defensive Players this year were from all over the state

Cole Taylor, leading tackler (Great Falls)
Caden Dowler, second leading tackler (Billings)
Bryce Grebe, third leading tackler (Melstone)
Kenneth Eiden, 4th leading tackler (Bozeman)
5th and 6th ladeing tacklers were out-of-staters (Meredith and Gray)
Colter Petre, 7th leading Tackler (Helena)
8th and 9th leading tacklers were out-of-staters (Williams and McMillan)
Zac Crews, 10th leading tackler (MIssoula)

That's 6 of our top 10 tacklers, one representing 5 of Montana's six biggest cities, plus one tiny ranch town.

Great representation of the entire state!

It's cool that Petre finished 7th since he was behind Dowler most of the season.
