7:38 p.m. | A big one in Class B
No. 3 Fairfield (3-1) is hosting undefeated yet unranked Glasgow (4-0) in a Northern B clash tonight, a game that will have an impact in both the rankings and the standings.
After the first quarter the game is scoreless, and MTN Sports' Tom Wylie reports that neither team had a first down in the opening 10 minutes. This could be a defensive struggle.
7:29 p.m. | Sidney up against it early
Sidney is undefeated and cracked the MTN Sports Class A top 5 rankings this week at No. 4. But this looks interesting:

7:15 p.m. | Big Sky jumping out fast
Missoula Big Sky, ranked No. 3 in Class AA, has been living on the edge the past couple weeks. The Eagles won their last two games by a combined four points. But tonight they have a two-possession cushion thanks to a pair of Kalispell Flathead turnovers.
Eli Kasberg connected with Caleb Hood on Big Sky's latest possession for a 13-0 lead just five minutes into the game.
7:07 p.m. | Let's get it going
The majority of the night's games are now underway.

6:41 p.m. | A long trip north
Almost all of tonight's games kick off at 7 p.m., but one game currently in progress in a Class B matchup between Anaconda and Eureka. The Copperheads made the nearly 300-mile trek almost to the Canadian border to visit the Lions.
Early in the second quarter, the teams are tied 8-8.
6:22 p.m. | The Thursday look-back
