Daily Inter Lake reporter Luke Schmit was at Memorial Field on Friday, October 30, for the last football game the Whitefish Bulldogs will play there. After falling behind early, Whitefish scored 29 unanswered points to beat Dillon 36-12 in the opening round of the Class A playoffs and finish undefeated at home in their final season on the field.

Senior quarterback Luke Dalen had a hand in four touchdowns, throwing for 201 yards and a score while rushing for 108 yards and three touchdowns, including the final touchdown ever scored at Memorial Field. He talks about Dillon’s pass coverage in the first half and what it meant to go undefeated at home. Senior Vlad Shestak, who caught five passes and intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter, shares the emotions of the final walk across the field with his teammates and why this team bounces back from adversity. Head Coach Brett Bollweg talks about the offensive line, the memories at Memorial Field, the credit he gives Beaverhead County for the program’s standards, and the road trip to face East Helena in the quarterfinals.

Glacier soccer closed out the regular season with a statement in the Crosstown rivalry, sweeping Flathead with an 8-1 boys victory and a 10-1 girls win on Oct. 13 at Kidsports. Daily Inter Lake sports reporter Luke Schmit was there to catch up with the Wolfpack players and coaches after the rivalry matchups.

Glacier boys striker Brecken Evenson scored four goals, including one of the team's standout performances of the season. He discussed his scoring opportunities, Madrid Stephan's contributions and the team's confidence heading into the playoffs. Wolfpack captain Isaac Weaks also reflected on the team's chemistry, individual strengths and what it would take to compete for a state championship.

On the girls side, Gracie Winkler delivered four goals of her own. She talked about the team's chemistry, the importance of growing together and how Glacier learned to respond to adversity. First-year head coach Ryan Thompson shared his thoughts on the team's resilience, its potential and Winkler's impact as both a scorer and leader.

Looking back at the postseason: Both Glacier teams followed the Crosstown sweep with first-round Class AA playoff victories. The boys rallied past Missoula Big Sky 3-1, while the girls shut out Helena Capital 4-0. Both advanced to the quarterfinals before their seasons ended in Billings.
