Granite County Sheriff's Report: November 23, 2020
Granite County Commissioners Agenda: November 24, 2020
GRANITE COUNTY – With their win Saturday, the Flint Creek Titans can easily lay claim to being the best 8-Man football program in Montana since their creation in 2014. With seven straight playoff appearances and three state titles in the last four seasons, no team has experienced such success. While they will consistently deflect any recognition to their players, Co-Head Coaches Mike Cutler and JC Holland deserve recognition for the program they have created. The duo took the reins of the program in 2017 when Jim Oberweiser retired following the 2016 season, having shared the job with Cutler. Being on the same staff for the first three years of the program, the shift to running the Titans to
DRUMMOND – With 9.4 seconds to play in the first half, Flint Creek junior Avery Metesh stepped into the spotlight and the path of a pass by Scobey’s Jayce Tande. Metesh returned the interception 52 yards for a score and a lead the Titans would never relinquish as they claimed a 44-6 victory over the Spartans Saturday afternoon in the Montana High School Association’s 8-Man Football Championship. “We were in a man and we needed to make a play going into halftime,” said Metesh. “He went under and I went over and it was right there for me. Great blocking … They’ve been telling me all year to make a move and not run someone over.” The play was the turning point late in the first half that sent F
DRUMMOND – The mascots of Scobey and Flint Creek may hail from Greek mythology, but Saturday’s game will be all about a season-long quest on par with the Epic of Gilgamesh. When the Spartans and Titans kickoff Saturday in the Montana High School Association’s 8-Man Football Championship, it will be a meeting of the two best teams left in the playoffs. Scobey comes to Drummond at 10-1 while Flint Creek is a perfect 11-0. But before digging into the X’s and O’s of this contest, here are the particulars of the day… Scobey Spartans at Flint Creek Titans MHSA Class C 8-Man Football Championship Drummond High School / Drummond, Montana Saturday, November 21, 2020 @ 1 p.m. Scobey comes in as the No
GRANITE COUNTY – With the Titans making their third appearance in the championship game in four years, the whole of Granite County is on edge for it's boys in black. Here’s a look at some of the stats, stories and background facts of Saturday’s championship tilt. Best of the Best As one would hope and expect, the Flint Creek Titans and Scobey Spartans are the top two teams remaining in the Montana High School Association’s 8-Man Football Playoffs. They remain as the only two teams with double-digit wins, with Flint Creek a perfect 11-0 and Scobey 10-1. Based on its own formula, the website MaxPreps.com currently ranks the Titans as #8 nationally after moving up 10 spots with its semifinal wi
GRANITE COUNTY – As the Flint Creek Titans prepare to host the Scobey Spartans in the 8-Man Football Championship Saturday, fans of both teams are hoping to see all the action on the grid iron. As per the Montana High School Association’s playoff rules issued October 13, 2020, tickets are limited due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. These rules state that: Spectator Passes – Football, Volleyball and Soccer Per previous Board action, each site must provide a minimum of two tickets per suited player for both home and visiting fans. In addition the Board approved in volleyball, football and soccer to allow up to a maximum of 6 spectator passes per uniformed player for both home and visitor, 4 spectato
FORT BENTON – The Flint Creek Titans punched their ticket to the MHSA 8-Man Football State Finals Saturday with a convincing 48-18 win over the Longhorns in Fort Benton. The championship matchup will be against Scobey November 21 at Drummond High School as the Spartans beat Shelby 44-28 in their semifinal matchup. “These kids play with momentum,” said Flint Creek Head Coach Mike Cutler after the game. “We were able to get the two scores and a turnover (in the third quarter) and … I just can’t say enough about the Titans and how physical they are, how mentally tough they are and how much heart they have.” That heart was put on full display as Flint Creek battled Fort Benton throughout the fir

GRANITE COUNTY – In a matchup of what may well be the top two teams in 8-man football in 2020, the Forth Benton Longhorns will host the Flint Creek Titans in the semifinals Saturday. Here’s a look at what the day will look like when the two teams meet… As much as any two teams this year, the Titans and Longhorns are similar in a number of ways from offense to defense to the way they approach the game, these squads have posted the only two undefeated seasons still remaining in Class C in 2020. The similarities stem from their head coaches – Mike Cutler for the Titans and Jory Thompson for the Longhorns. The two know each other well, having been teammates at the University of Montana Western.

PHILIPSBURG – For all the talk of similarities of seasons gone by, one thing was perfectly clear Saturday at George Mungus Field in Philipsburg – the Flint Creek Titans are most decidedly not living in the past. Flint Creek took its future in its hands and beat Fairview 48-6 to advance to the semifinals of the MHSA 8-Man Football Playoffs next weekend. The game will be at 1 p.m. at Ft. Benton. For the second straight week senior Preston Metesh carried a large part of the home team’s load on his back, scoring four touchdowns on more than 130 yards of total offense. He started the scoring on the Titans’ third possession, breaking through the line on a 54-yard carry and an 8-0 lead. The game st
Granite County Commissioner's Agenda: November 10, 2020
GRANITE COUNTY – In some ways 2020 has seen some odd similarities with 2017, the first year that Mike Cutler coached the Flint Creek Titans. From wild fires and pandemics to shortened schedules with lost games, Titan fans are hoping the 2017 outcome – a state championship – will be the same in 2020. So it only makes sense that next on this season’s dance card would be the same team they faced in the second round in 2017 – the Fairview Warriors. Before we look at the teams, let’s look at the day and the matchup: Fairview is coached by Levi Seitz, who has been at the helm since his inaugural year of 2017. Seitz and Flint Creek’s Mike Cutler have both run very successful programs in their short
