The Glacier Wolfpack are once again championship-bound. Glacier shut out Gallatin 35–0 at Legends Stadium to punch their ticket to the AA State Championship for the third straight season — and they looked every bit the title contender they set out to be back in August.

In this episode of Keeping Score, Daily Inter Lake reporter Luke Schmit catches up with Asher Knopik, Dylan Banzet, and head coach Grady Bennett moments after the win. Knopik — praised all season long for his leadership and consistency — scored three rushing touchdowns, building on the momentum he helped establish in their season-opening win over Billings West, this year’s championship opponent.

Dylan Banzet added two explosive touchdowns from quarterback Jackson Presley, and he reflects on Glacier’s dominant season and the support of the Kalispell community. Coach Bennett breaks down the defensive game plan that delivered a semifinal shutout and explains what comes next as Glacier prepares for its rematch with Billings West in the AA title game.
