6:58 p.m. | Downpour in Florence
Sounds like players are going to have to deal with some wet conditions out west, at least early. MTN Sports' Kyle Hansen says it's pouring rain in Florence ahead of the Class B showdown between No. 1 Manhattan and No. 4-ranked Falcons.
It's supposed to clear up, but we'll see how this affects things.
6:51 p.m. | Reverse flea-flicker backfires
Leading 21-0 now, Glacier went for the jugular against Bozeman. But QB Cash Keim was hit by the Hawks' Walker Roodell as he threw on a reverse flea-flicker play and the ball was picked off.
Meanwhile, several other games are about ready to get going across the state.
It’s a battle of two 1-0 teams tonight with Frenchtown taking on Columbia Falls. I’ll have scoring updates throughout the night. #mtscores pic.twitter.com/aSchXNEA1u

6:33 p.m. | Hawks hurt by mistakes
Glacier took a 14-0 lead against Bozeman with 4:44 left in the opening quarter, but the Hawks countered with a drive that pushed deep into Wolfpack territory after a long pass by QB Van Shockley.
But two plays later Shockley lost the handle on a mesh with the running back and Glacier jumped on the ball. The Wolfpack have regained possession at the end of the quarter.
Otherwise, we wait for the remainder of tonight's games to get going.
6:19 p.m. | Glacier hits paydirt
After failing to find the end zone in last week's 6-3 loss to Billings West, Kalispell Glacier scored on its opening drive at Bozeman as running back Elijah Imperato takes a direct snap and runs untouched for a 15-yard TD.
We should also note that the Wolfpack are again without head coach Grady Bennett, who is still serving a two-game suspension for a Glacier recruiting violation.
6:05 p.m. | Looking back at Thursday's action
Tonight's first games are just now getting underway, but before we dig into that there were a few matchups on the schedule Thursday night, including an 8-Man contest between Park City and Harlowton. You can watch highlights of Park City's 74-6 rout below:
