With a playoff game on the line, the Bozeman Bucks rose to the challenge on Friday. They managed a 37-31 victory over the Chiefs. Bozeman's victory was nothing new given the team hasn't lost yet this season.

John Hanson was another key contributor, picking up 160 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Northview's lost despite a true team effort on the offense, the best among them being Wyatt Scruggs, who rushed for 89 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 113 yards and a touchdown on only five passes. Scruggs was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 55 yards. The team also got some help courtesy of Joe Wright v, who rushed for 142 yards and a touchdown.
