Keeping Score host Luke Schmit is on the field in Columbia Falls after the Wildcats’ 34-31 win over Whitefish in the Cat-Dog game, with four postgame interviews on a 90-yard, game-winning drive.

Trailing 31-27 with 6:27 left, Columbia Falls started at its own 10 and marched 90 yards.

Banyan Johnston hit Jory Hill for a 10-yard touchdown with 33 seconds left.

Johnston talks about the final drive, the double-coverage catch, and why the Wildcats were never nervous. He also credits an offensive line that is starting to lead.

Jory Hill, the senior receiver who caught the game-winner, talks about the play call, his third-down pass breakup in the third quarter, and what the night meant on senior night. His top moment as a Wildcat, “as of right now,” comes with a promise that there is more to come.

Tripp Ross carried 30 times for 181 yards and three touchdowns. He talks about the Wildcats’ run game, containing Whitefish quarterback Luke Dalen, how Columbia Falls stayed calm at halftime, and how the team stays focused with games left before the playoffs.

Coach Kelly Houle breaks down the final drive, the team’s physical identity, why he did not want to leave Dalen much time on the clock, and why he sees this win as a conference championship.
