Bulldogs end season with win

Carter County High School defeated Broadus by twenty-six points in their final game of the football season on Saturday. The game took place in Broadus and featured the fourth place team from each of the Montana 8-Man Eastern Conference's sub-divisions.

On the Bulldogs' first possession, senior quarterback Turner Tooke turned a broken play into a long touchdown run. After that play, the game was never in doubt.

In the second half, every Bulldog player got into the game. CCHS continued to keep the ball on the ground in an effort to run the clock. Broadus, meanwhile, slowed the game down by continuing to try to throw the ball down field. Several incompletions led to clock stoppages that extended the game.

In addition to incompletions, the game was slowed by numerous penalties. Several flags were thrown for false starts and offsides penalties, as were a couple on pass interferences, but the game was marred with personal fouls too.

Two Broadus players were ejected from the contest, as was Broadus' head coach. Another Hawk was flagged after spiking the ball following a meaningless score late in the fourth quarter.

Just before the final play of the game, a CCHS player was also ejected.

Poor sportsmanship throughout the contest overshadowed what would have been an otherwise solid win for the Bulldogs, 52-26.

Ekalaka and Broadus both ended the 2021 football season with overall records of 3-5.
