I like those picks, although I wouldn't be suprised to see an upset in one of the botteom three games (no way Big Sky beats West).

The biggest upset could be CMR over Capital which could very well happen. The only other one I see is Butte over Kalispell.

I agree with AA picks... also:
Class A:
Miles City over Dillon (close)
Belgrade over Polson
Butte Central over Libby
Frenchtown over Billings Central

Class B:
Cut Bank over Manhattan
Huntley over Thompson Falls (close I think)
Baker over Eureka
Fairfield over Malta (upset special)

Class C:
Drummond over Chinook
Wibaux over Stanford
Centerville over Twin Bridges
Park City over Ekalaka

Class C 6-Man:
Highwood over Ten Sleep, Wyo
Roberts over Broadview/Lavina

I haven't followed AA football much since I left Montana, but being from Kalispell I have to call BS on your pick. :wink: They pull off two upsets and win state! Flathead 20
Capital 10

Could be, if anyone is going to challenge West it will be Kalispell or Capital.

Not AA, but thought I would mention that Belgrade beat Polson 21-14. They move on to play the winner of Miles City and Dillon I think.

Baker did indeed beat Eureka. There's a reason those boys are several time State Champs. Eureka came out strong, scored first and controlled the first quarter. Baker adapted and Eureka never had a chance after that. Final score was 38-14

I'm not going to predict that FLATHEAD will beat Capital but I do think the game is a toss-up.

It will come down to turnovers, IMO, the team with the least wins.

I'm rooting for Senior to upset West because if that happened and the Braves prevailed, the title game would be at Legends Field, home of the FLATHEAD Braves.


Grizzlies: 2-5 when it matters most

Don't get your hopes up about senior.

sorry, but no one is touching west this year. they are one of the best teams take the field in montana in a long time. i think they not only win all the games they play, but win the remaining 2 by more than 2 touchdowns each. imo.

I agree. No one will beat West this year. No one.

That's the EXACT attitude Brave & Bruin fans want to hear...

It's EXACTLY the attitude Capital had 3 years ago, having won 23 straight games (usually with blowouts) and sitting at #1, hosting #8 Flathead...


I'm not predicting that West won't win the title, I too think they should coast to 2 more wins; I'm just saying that if any/many West coaches and/or players start thinking that way, LOOK OUT!

I'm not a coach or player so it doesn't matter. West can handle it and they will win state.

Add to that West hasn't played Capital and I don't think they played Kalispell either. Offensively, Capital is unlike any team West has faced. If West gets a lead, look out, it's over.

The Braves played a pretty poor game Friday night but IMO the biggest reason for that was an aggressive, fast Bruin D.

I still think West will win by double digits.
