Great! Hellgate high school in Missoula was without a football program for a couple of years, they are back and aren't doing so well, but hey that's just because the coaches suck. So all you experts have the perfect opportunity, take over the program! Show us the state championships, show us the dominance. Get that done in less than three years, or just STFU.

Uhhh, Hellgate has been garbage since Kelly Stensrud and Paul Mocko graduated, long before they shut down the program. If you want to win in Missoula, you gotta combine all the teams into one. You may get an occasional anomaly like Big Sky this year or my Sr year when we won it all, against Hellgate. Other then that the Msla County schools are always at the bottom.

So your saying it’s about having quality athletes, wow! Everything I’ve learned from the fire Stitt crowd is it’s about coaching. Who knew?

Kind of tough to build that program up when all of their athletic kids play soccer

Coach em up! It’s all about coaching! Hell with the right coach and staff 7th and 8th graders should be more than competitive at a division III college level. If not you gotta find a guy that will make them mean and dominate. I’ve learned a lot on egriz!
 
99, we get your point. Anyone that questions our genius coach is an idiot.
The team did play well yesterday.
 
Funny you mention putting one team together in MIssoula. I think that could eventually be what happens. I can tell you right now it is happening in Boys Soccer and apparently maybe wrestling. Missoula doesnt enforce high school boundaries and kids can go to what ever high school they choose. I lived in Missoula for more than 10 years and my first two kids were born there so still have friends with high school age kids. They confirm this happens though not so much with football. We had been talking about this during state soccer tournament. Next day a group of Missoula boys (about 12 years old) were standing by me watching the state champ game and one asked the other "Are you going to Hellgate for soccer or Big Sky for wrestling". So clearly this is no secret in Missoula.

Growing up in Billings you had to go to the school whose boundaries you lived in and they were not very receptive to exceptions. If still true, when you consider it, Billings is actually at a disadvantage though being the largest city as Bozeman has its entire population from which to field a team and Missoula even more population. Great Falls, where I live now has boundaries, and I think they would limit the number of kids that switched, but very few attend outside their boundaries so Great Falls doesnt put up much resistance to switches. If Missoula actually did get all of the best football players to one school I dont think they would lose many games. Kind of like Hellgate boys soccer. For those in the know, is Big Sky good at wrestling?

In any case, Bozo maybe in for some difficulty in sports if they enforce boundaries when the new high school is built. To be fair Missoula should enforce boundaries as well. Just my opinion.

Not true, in fact much like Don Read, what Stitt does is very reliant on having the right QB. What so many here seem to think is that montana can out physical ndsu and teams like them. Nope, can’t, not on a year after year basis. Bobby tried, and yes he won a lot of games. Read and Glenn, couple of D2 coaches built amazing squads that got the job done, did anyone expect them to do that every year? Just my opinion of course, I see a team that in the next couple of years could make that run.

99, not sure but I think Don Read coached at Oregon and Portland State.

Port St was D-2 until '98. Yes, Read did coach at Ore in the mid 70's where he was an asst before that but they were a loooong way from the Ore we know today. Long time bottom feeders in the PAC 8 and his record there was 9-24.

Yeah. Maybe you shouldn't day-drink. I mean I did, but I think I can handle it.
