Matt Ludwig Turns in Season-Best Effort
Billings West was led to victory by Matt Ludwig, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Ludwig picked up 192 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a rushing score. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 62 yards.
Bozeman's probably not too fond of Ludwig given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Ludwig saw the Hawks), he rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown.
