Clutch defense, fourth quarter score lifts Great Falls CMR over Bozeman
Four plays separated an Eastern AA football contest on Friday, Oct. 9, at Memorial Stadium, and they all went Great Falls CMR’s way. The first, an interception at the goal line by safety Grayson Muzzana with one second left in the first half. The second, a quick strike from quarterback Beckett Crouch to a streaking Blake Katz for a 39-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Then came a big pressure by the CMR front on Bozeman signal-caller Van Shockley to force an errant fourth-down throw on the ensuing drive. Finally, a 19-yard snag by receiver Nick Stimac from Crouch effectively put the game on ice for a 14-7 conference victory for the Rustlers. The triumph puts CMR (5-2 overall, 4-1 conference) in firm control for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern AA, holding a one-game lead and head-to-head tiebreaker on the Hawks (4-3, 3-2) as well as Bozeman Gallatin, which fell 28-7 to league-leading Billings West (7-0, 5-0) on Friday. “Just feeling great, man,” CMR head coach A.J. Wilson said. “Homecoming win in front a big crowd tonight. It was awesome. Some miscues on special teams that we’ve got to clean up but fantastic job by our defense all

Landon Bahmiller growing into a force on defensive line for Great Falls CMR
Landon Bahmiller has long had the makings of a varsity athlete. But whether it was being an undersized sophomore or working back from injury as a junior, the Great Falls CMR football player has had some obstacle to overcome. Now filled out and fully healthy as a senior, the Rustler defensive end and captain is realizing his full potential on the field. “There’s a lot of work to be done, a lot of stuff I need to focus on, but it’s been fun being able to get back in there,” Bahmiller said. “Making a jump from last year has definitely been the most exciting part, to see the progress I’ve made throughout the years. It’s exciting for the final year to all come together.” Bahmiller and CMR (4-2 overall, 3-1 Eastern AA) face a critical conference contest at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9, against Bozeman (4-2, 3-1) at Memorial Stadium. The CMR coaching staff saw the potential as a sophomore in Bahmiller, who saw action in four games that season. Weighing only 160 pounds, however, made tangling with an opposing varsity offensive line an eye-opening experience. “I’d get thrown around a little bit and was mainly just a pass
