The Fifth week of the High School Football season is in the books. We are starting to see Top 5 match-ups and seeing some teams distance themselves from the pack. We have seen a few upsets along the way. We are at the halfway point of the season and still so many story lines to see play out. There will be debate about the results and that is the best part!!
Thank you to the members of the Montana Media that participated in this poll!
Without further ado...
