Upcoming Drama
The big showdown in the power rankings this week is between Frenchtown (7th in the power rankings) and Beaverhead County (4th). The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both Frenchtown and Beaverhead County put up some lofty point totals in their previous games, so things might heat up even more when they play one another this week.
Big Showdown
The battle between Jefferson (ranked 11th in the power rankings) and Sweet Grass County (ranked 21st) turned out to be a fierce competition. Jefferson and Sweet Grass County were almost perfectly matched up, but Jefferson suffered an agonizing 14 - 13 defeat. Jefferson lost a lot of ground in this match: the team forfeited six spots in the power rankings.
Movin on Up
Capital not only got the result it was looking for last game, but the team outscored its opponent Russell in every quarter. The final score between Capital and Russell was a 35 - 0 blowout in Capital's favor. Capital's offense might have been extra motivated to turn things around after difficulties scoring in its previous game. The success catapulted it six spots up the power rankings, enough to make it the biggest riser of the week.
Can't Touch This
It isn't too difficult to come out on top when you enjoy a 251-yard edge over your opponent, and Columbia Falls had just that last week. It put the hurt on Browning with a conclusive 42 - 6 victory. Columbia Falls gave the Browning offensive line some real trouble with five sacks (and will no doubt be looking to keep the pressure on Ronan this Friday). Colten McPhee deserves a lot of credit in the win. He earned three touchdowns and 101 yards rushing the ball, a performance good enough to make him one of the top players in the power rankings last week.
