Titus Vidlak has another Idaho state high school football record to his name. On Friday, Nov. 6, Vidlak broke Idaho’s career yardage record, leading Fruitland (ID) to a 45-22 win over Emmett (ID) in the IDHSAA Class 4A quarterfinals. Vidlak finished with 253 scrimmage yards, bringing his career total to 9,628 as a four-year starter for the Grizzlies. That breaks the all-time yardage record previously held by Tanner Magnum (Eagle High School), who finished his high school career with 9,599 career yards. In addition to the career yardage record, Vidlak set the Idaho state record for career touchdowns on Sept. 18 in a 41–13 road win over Bonners Ferry (ID). He broke the record previously set by Keegan Duncan (106), who went on to play linebacker at Utah State and win Idaho's Gatorade Player of the Year in 2018. Following Friday's game, Vidlak now has 118 career touchdowns. It was a dominant night for the 2027 Montana State football commit from the opening kickoff. After leading Fruitland to a touchdown on the opening drive, he returned a 60-yard punt for a score to give the Grizzlies the early 16-0 advantage early on. Vidlak finished the night 9-of-12 passing for 110

MSU named one of the top schools in the Country for Veteran support

BOZEMAN, MONT. — Montana State University has received national recognition for how it supports student veterans who are transitioning to life out of the armed forces. U.S. Veteran Magazine recently named MSU a top school for student veterans, marking the second time the Bobcats received that honor. The last time Montana State was named as a top school for student veterans was in 2024. In Bozeman, the university said the program helped veterans and service members move into the next stage of their lives. Todd Bucher, director of the Travis W. Atkins Veteran Support Center at MSU, said the award reflected the program's ongoing work. "It means that we just continue to raise our standards and continue pushing on to that next level of service to these veterans, and military members and their families," Bucher said. James Mayfield IV, an Army and Navy veteran at MSU, also spoke about how that support reached beyond the classroom in Bozeman. "You hear people talk about community a lot. It's very rare you actually meet people, and it really does feel like a family away from your own family; And that's, that's just definitely how everybody is here, so, you can see it

Bozeman School District reacts to Google AI policy as access rules change

BOZEMAN, MONT. — A new Google policy could affect how schools use the search engine and its AI tools with student accounts. Google announced on Tuesday that K-12 schools would not have access to its search engine if they rejected the tech companies' AI policies. District officials in Montana sa y Google is giving schools the authority to decide whether they want AI features turned on as part of Google Search. As default, the AI features within Google are turned off for students, unless school administrators decide to access them. For Bozeman, that decision comes down to whether the district chooses to use AI in the classroom. Currently, the district does not have a policy regarding artificial intelligence. "It's going to be dependent on our district policy whether or not we engage with AI or not. The search, the AI tools are always going to be there, but it's going to be our policy whether or not we are going to engage with AI," said Mike Van Vuren, deputy superintendent for the Bozeman School District. Van Vuren explained that while the Bozeman school district does not have a specific policy regarding AI in place, they are open to using it
