Bozeman has gone a perfect 10-0 against Russell recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Hawks will host the Rustlers at 7:00 p.m. After the two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one won't be so lucky on Friday.
On Friday, Bozeman humbled Belgrade with a 45-14 victory. Considering the Hawks have won four matchups by more than 19 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Van Shockley had another great game (as he tends to do), throwing for 267 yards and four touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
Bozeman didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Belgrade to a completion percentage of just 17.9%. The team can thank Reece Sutherland for the heroic effort on defense: he. Bozeman hasn't an opponent to post a completion percentage of 0.42 or higher in three consecutive games.
Bozeman's defense didn't let Hudsen Rask, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Lucas Garson, Thomas Moran, and Tucker Scott, who each picked up one sack apiece.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Russell, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. Their defense stepped up to hand Billings Senior a 25-0 shutout on Friday. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
Russell didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Gage Allen, Dalton Heggem, and Grayson Muzzana picked up one apiece. Muzzana also made five total tackles, which is notable because Russell is 2-1 when he posts at least three total tackles, but 1-2 otherwise.
Bozeman has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 43.3 points over those games. As for Russell, the win got them back to even at 3-3.
Everything came up roses for Bozeman against Russell when the teams last played back in October of 2024, as the team secured a 41-7 victory. In that matchup, the Hawks amassed a halftime lead of 27-7, an impressive feat they'll look to repeat on Friday.
