Polson's season ends with playoff loss to defending state champion Frenchtown
The Polson Pirates saw their football season come to an end Friday night, falling 56-19 to defending State A champion Frenchtown in the opening round of the Class A playoffs. Despite the loss, the Pirates received a boost from the return of quarterback Case Cox, who had missed the previous six games. Cox threw for 241 yards and three touchdowns, connecting with Ben Aldridge for two scores and Eli Emerson for another. Frenchtown wasted little time taking control, as Eli Nahapation returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown to give the Broncs an immediate 7-0 lead. The Broncs extended their lead to 14-0 on a 40-yard touchdown run by Cooper Hardy before quarterback Cody Forthofer added a 9-yard scoring run early in the second quarter to push the advantage to 21-0. Polson answered with its first touchdown of the night when Cox connected with Aldridge on a 25-yard scoring pass. Roman Sawyer added the extra point, cutting the deficit to 21-7. Frenchtown responded with a 25-yard touchdown pass from Cody Forthofer to his brother, Jake Forthofer, giving the Broncs a commanding 28-7 lead at halftime. The Pirates continued to battle in the second half, with Cox finding Aldridge

Whitefish ends Memorial Field tenure with playoff win over Dillon
The Bulldogs couldn't have asked for a better send off for Memorial Field. After an early deficit Friday night, Whitefish scored 29 unanswered points to defeat Dillon 36-12 in the opening round of the Class A football playoffs. Bulldogs quarterback Luke Dalen had a hand in four touchdowns, completing 17 of 23 passes for 201 yards and a score, while rushing for 108 yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries. The victory sends Whitefish (9-1) into the quarterfinals against East Helena, but it also marked the end of an era for the Bulldogs, who finished undefeated at home in their final season at Memorial Field. After the game, seniors walked across the field together one last time, sharing hugs and reflecting on a place that has meant so much to their program. "It's a lot, you know? A lot of emotions," senior Vlad Shestak said. "I don't like to cry. I was close." Before the final farewell, the Bulldogs had to battle through a tough first half against a Dillon team that challenged Whitefish on both sides of the ball. Vance Schwaiger opened the scoring with a 23-yard touchdown run, but Dillon answered with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Canin

The Libby Loggers cross country teams headed to the Montana Class A State Championships with a mission to rewrite the record books. By the time the final runner crossed the finish line Saturday, Oct. 24, they had done exactly that. Libby delivered one of the most successful state championship performances in program history at Amend Park in Billings, with the girls finishing fifth overall, their highest placement since 1996, and the boys taking eighth, their best finish since 2001. The afternoon also featured two school records, a pair of top-10 individual finishes and personal-best performances from all 14 Libby runners. Junior Capri Farmer shattered the girls' 5,000-meter school record with a time of 17 minutes, 28.9 seconds, finishing fourth overall in the Class A field. Senior Cody Watson followed with a record-breaking performance of his own, running 15:58.4 to place seventh in the boys' championship race. For head coach Brittany Katzer, who has spent the past five years rebuilding and developing the program, the results represented the culmination of years of work.

Arlee woman setting the pace as an ultra runner
The momentum of a sweeping summer of victories, built on grit and a desire for redemption, drove Scarlet Kaplan to the Le Grizz ultramarathon's finish line in record-breaking time. “I feel a little bit invincible,” Kaplan said about the race result. Originally from Arlee, the 30-year-old Whitefish fitness trainer wasn’t anticipating running the classic 50-mile gravel race, one of the oldest ultramarathons in the country. But two days before the race, she realized it was a part of the Flathead Race Series, a “Crown of the Continent Champions League” that strings together points from several trail races held in the region throughout the season. Kaplan said the organizer reached out to her and said, “‘You’re in the lead. If you do the 50-mile, you’ll win it.’ And I like to win. So, I was like, I’ll do it.” Leading up to Le Grizz, Kaplan demolished the Whitefish Marathon course record in 3:03:05. She won a Spartan trifecta of obstacle-laden races and competed in a Hyrox event in the spring. She did the double-dip half marathon in Missoula and won that. She then ran the Foys to Blacktail half marathon – and full marathon – in a weekend double header in
