It would be a special crowd Friday night for the Loyola Rams as they would host the Thompson Falls Blue Hawks for the Loyola Homecoming.

Homecoming night would come to the Big Sky Eagles as they would host the Great Falls Bison on a crisp night.

The second half of the game consisted of a back and forth battle that was determined by the team who had the ball last as the Eagles would pull off another last second score to win 26-23.

The Hellgate Knights would be the only team of the four that would be on the road Friday night as they played in Great Falls against the CMR Rustlers. CMR held the lead throughout the game and where up 27-0 at the half.
