Athlete of the Week

The athletes of the week this week are very similar to last week, only it's a Cut Bank Football player and a Choteau Volleyball player. Both played big roles in key conference

The Wolves needed a win in Conrad to keep their playoff hopes alive and a great running game from Junior Brannon Dodson was just what they needed to get that win. Dodson rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns with one of the touchdowns coming on a great catch and score from 56 yards away. With a second down and long on their own 44 yard line, Dodson delivered. The very quick and shifty running back also kicks extra points for the Wolves. several 100 yard games and 7 touchdowns on the season.

Senior super-setter Kelci May had another great weekend for the undefeated Choteau Lady Bulldogs. In the 3/1 win over Cut Bank, May had 33 of the teams 37 assists, two aces and 19 digs. In the Conrad match-up 31 assists and three aces.

Choteau Senior Full Back and Defensive End Henry Jordan.  He's tough to stop up the middle and was instrumental in Choteau's win over Cut Bank with 17 carries for 76 yards, three big knock-down blocks and four solo tackles.

Senior Jordyn Vaile of the Cut Bank Wolves had ten blocks and 23 kills over two matches this week.  In what has been described as her best match of the year she had 11 kills and six  blocks in a 3/0 win over Conrad. Jordyn is an all conference selection from a year ago and all state in track and field.

Considering Trace wasn't a starter for the Eagles until his senior year, he's done amazingly well as the starting quarterback for Fairfield. Brady had been concentrating on catching passes from Patterson the last two years.  He has thrown for more than two touchdowns a game and big yardage in some, Brady was especially tough in their toughest game against highly-ranked Manhattan, throwing for 274 yards and three touchdowns.  Long-term Fairfield Coach Les Meyer also mentioned that Trace is on of the top three tacklers for the Eagles from his  outside linebacking position.

This week, the Athlete of the Week goes to a Browning golfer who might be getting used to winning! She’s been doing a lot of it lately. Senior Ashton Smith – tied for the Central Divisional championship and finished in the top 30 of the state last year. Ashton shot a 91 to win the Libby Invitational – she has also captured wins in mid-August in Havre and on her home course on September 3rd with an 87. She’s got to be a favorite in the Central A Divisional Golf tournament in East Glacier.
