Episode Details

Recorded the night of September 22 at Legends Stadium, this episode of Keeping Score goes inside Flathead’s 26-7 Crosstown win over Glacier in girls flag football.

Host Luke Schmit catches up with sophomore Lexi Herion, who caught two touchdown passes, intercepted a pass and finished with 10 catches for 118 yards. He also talks with senior Hailee Ballensky and Bravettes coach Jess Hensley about the Senior Night atmosphere, the first Brave walk in program history with the band leading the team into the stadium, and the second-half surge that turned a 7-7 halftime tie into a three-score win.

Season update: the Bravettes went into the State AA tournament in Billings as the Western AA’s top seed and the top-scoring team in the field. They fell 20-7 to Bozeman in Wednesday’s opening round, then beat Billings Senior 8-6 on Thursday morning.
