Thanks Payton, now we're going to have posters insisting that they remember that the goal from field 4 happened in 1903, not 1904.

Here are some crazy stats just taken off the list of 2019 Griz on the Deans list:

Most TD passes in a high school game by Spring 2019 Deans list (or any other place or time for that matter)? (7) by now offensive lineman Dylan Cook (Butte vs Hellgate 2014)

Worst punting average on this list? Dalton Sneed longest punt in high school: 26 yards. (To be fair, his only punt)

Most Montana High school extra points ever scored in a season: Brandon Purdy (128)

Player on Deans List to score game winning play in his first varsity game? Nate Ferguson (game winning FG in double OT (Butte vs Skyview, 2015)

Congrats to 2019 Dean’s List and President’s List
Griz!
