The Glacier Wolfpack are on the road again on Friday to play the Capital Bruins. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
If Glacier beats Capital with 46 points on Friday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two matchups with that exact score. Glacier strolled past Gallatin with points to spare on Friday, taking the game 46-27. That's two games straight that the Wolfpack have won by exactly 19 points.
Meanwhile, Capital had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They blew past Billings West 35-6 on Friday. The win was nothing new for the Bruins as they're now sitting on ten straight.
Capital got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Cole Graham out in front who rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown. That's the most rushing yards Graham has posted since back in September of 2023. Another player making a difference was Drew Almquist, who rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
Glacier pushed their record up to 11-1 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those good results were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 13.3 points per game. As for Capital, their record now sits at 10-1.
Glacier might still be hurting after the 35-14 loss they got from Capital in their previous matchup back in October. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Capital's Merek Mihelish, who rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 128 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. Now that Glacier knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
