BILLINGS — The 2024 Class B All-Star football players have been putting in work at Rocky Mountain College all week in anticipation of Saturday's game in Red Lodge. But MTN Sports decided to put them to the test following a recent practice.
MTN Sports: "Do you remember all five high school football state champions from the fall?"
Pat Barnett, Glasgow, North coach: "So 6-Man. Gosh, was 6-Man ... not Plentywood. Plentywood? Froid-Lake?"
MTN Sports: "Froid-Lake hosted it."
Barnett: "They hosted it? Wouldn't have been Belt because they're 8-Man and Fairview won it in 8-Man."
Thomas Buchanan, Red Lodge, South: "I think I know four. (Class) AA was Bozeman, A was Dillon, B was Florence. Then Centerville won."
Lance Burrows, Florence, North: "AA was Bozeman. Class A was Dillon. We won Class B. 8-Man was Fairview. 6-Man was ... Centerwood? Centerville."
MTN Sports: "Boom! All five!"
MTN Sports: "How many times has this game, the Class B All-Star game, been played?"
Dalton Noble, Jefferson, South: "This is the 35th annual."
MTN Sports: "I thought you said you didn't know anything about this game?"
Noble: "Well, they told us that."
MTN Sports: "Do you know who leads the all-time series?"
Noble: "The North does by two games, 18-16."
MTN Sports: "See, you know your stuff. Do you know who won last year?"
Noble: "The South won."
MTN Sports: "You have some big guys in there. Who puts away the most food when you go in for lunch and dinner?"
Adam White, Red Lodge, South coach: "Lunch and dinner, shockingly, I think it's some of those little guys. It's crazy. Up here at Rocky they treat us so well and tell us we can have seconds, just wait until the end. The linemen, it's usually one plate. Those backs, receivers and quarterbacks, they're up there time and time again. It's pretty funny."
The 35th annual Class B All-Star football game kicks off Saturday at 1 p.m. in Red Lodge. Rosters for the game are below.
