Realistically a three-way battle for the league crown entering play, No. 21 Carroll College dealt a blow to No. 8 Southern Oregon's title aspirations, setting up a matchup of epic proportions next weekend in Dillon.

Blake Thelen's 4-yard first-quarter touchdown pass to Derek Pearse tied a 27-year-old Tech program record. His 54-yarder to Wyatt Alexander six game minutes later broke that career touchdown record (60) held for over two decades by Cut Bank's Mark Jensen.

“We knew we could win and we knew we should win, then at the end of the game we knew we certainly could win, to not have it hurts.”

“To see people reach out, even from Montana with the little time I was there – the support I’ve received from there has just been surreal.”

“I wouldn’t want to play a conference title game anywhere else – to go home and show how much better I’ve gotten since the last time they watched me play.”

“Not big enough, not fast enough, but worked himself into big enough and fast enough. And more than tough enough to be an All-Conference performer.”

To chase his collegiate football dreams, Montana Western provided his lone option as a walk-on, and Saturday, in the Bulldogs' 27-14 victory over

One Saturday to decide a Frontier Conference Champion (or co-Champion), NAIA playoff field, and whether or not MSU-Northern will suffer a third-straight winless conference season.

HELENA — The 2024 NAIA Football Selection Show is Sunday, following the regular-season's final weekend. The Frontier Conference has never sent four teams to the NAIA Football Championship Series, but sporting a ranked quartet entering Saturday, that's a real possibility.
