Friday Night Lights: Big Sky Wins at CMR and Plays for a Championship Berth |
The Eagles won 38-21 in Great Falls and travel to Glacier on Friday. Sentinel's season ended at home against Gallatin. |

Two Missoula teams went into the Class AA quarterfinals on Friday. One is still playing.
Missoula Big Sky won 38–21 at Great Falls CMR — a road win as the lower seed, the third seed out of the West beating the second seed out of the East. The Eagles now travel to Glacier on Friday, Nov. 13 at 6 p.m. with a place in the state championship game on the line.
Glacier arrives as the West’s top seed and has been emphatic: the Wolfpack beat Bozeman 53–29 at home in their quarterfinal.
Sentinel's season ends at home
Gallatin 24, Missoula Sentinel 13. The Spartans hosted as the West’s second seed and were beaten by the East’s third, ending a season that reached the final eight.
The rest of the bracket
In the other semifinal, Billings West hosts Gallatin on Friday at 7 p.m. West is the East’s top seed and beat Great Falls High 44–7.
The Class AA state championship is Friday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. The host is decided by seeding rather than by a neutral site: the highest remaining seed hosts both the semifinal and the final, and if two same-division teams meet, the higher conference finisher hosts.
Last week we previewed both of those quarterfinals. Hellgate did not reach this year’s Class AA bracket.
