GREAT FALLS — Steele Harris' three total touchdowns led Great Falls High to a 27-6 Eastern AA football win over Belgrade Thursday night at Great Falls Memorial Stadium.
WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS:
The game swung in Great Falls' favor immediately, as on the opening kickoff the Bison (2-4) forced a fumble and recovered it. On the next play, Harris took a direct snap and rushed it in to the end zone.
Belgrade (1-5) found itself in a rough spot right away and would not be able to respond. The Bison would add two field goals heading in to halftime.
Harris would then score another rushing touchdown of over 40 yards in the third quarter, propelling the Bison to a 20-0 lead. Then in the fourth, quarterback Tristan O'Leary connected with Harris on a pass for the junior's third total score.
Additionally, it was announced during the game that Bison senior edge rusher Colter DeVoss became the all-time program sack leader after his drag-down in the first quarter.
