In Class A Browning in the hunt must make those in Browning happy.

And in Class C just looking at pf/pa a massive contrast between Scobey and Lame Deer.

Will Glacier dropping to 0-3 get them completely out of the rankings?

I was at the Scobey/Lame Deer game. I hate to say anything bad about a high school team, but Lame Deer obviously doesn't care. I've never seen a center roll the ball the the qb every snap before that night. The line didn't try to block, the recievers jogged downfield a ways, the quarterback heaved it towards a crowd of players. Scobey was up 42-0 after one. The starters didn't play in the last three quarters, and the "C" squad played the entire second half. Fairview put up 102 on Lame Deer this past week. As far as Scobey goes, I appreciate the love from Vim for having them ranked, but so far they've played Lodge Grass, Lame Deer, and St. Labre. We really won't know what Scobey has going until they play Fairview, Forsyth, and Circle. They get Plentywood this weekend for homecoming.

I didn't rank Scobey high because they beat Lodge Grass, Lame Deer, and St. Labre. I ranked them high because they have good players. RB Riley Linder is a Frontier Conference talent at RB and from Sr. to Fr., they have a good overall team.
