Montana downed North Dakota last week in the Badlands Bowl in Miles City, 34-13.

Columbia Falls was represented in the annual high school all-star game by defensive back Nate Thompson. The game pits the best of Montana and North Dakota high school football seniors against each other.

North Dakota went up 10-0 in the first quarter, but Montana's defense shut them down, scoring 20 straight points before halftime.

This was the 18th meeting of the two teams.
