A Season-Best Performance from Matt Ludwig Leads Billings West over Bozeman
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.
Ludwig must have Bozeman's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Ludwig rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Hawks duked it out back in September of 2023.

Vigen Came Up Big in Gallatin's 51-10 Victory
