1. Glacier (12-0)

Previous ranking: 2

Last week: Def. No. 5 Billings West 16-3

The Wolfpack finally ended an 11-year title drought and erased the memories of back-to-back losses in the 2A final by completing a perfect season, beating Billings West for the second time this year as Jackson Presley and Asher Knopik ran for third-quarter touchdowns to break a 3-3 halftime tie.

2. Frenchtown (11-1)

Previous ranking: 5

Last week: Def. No. 3 Billings Central Catholic 31-21

No one gave the Broncs much of a chance of knocking off the defending Class A champs and winning their first title since 2009. They thrived in the underdog role, rallying from an early 14-3 deficit as freshman QB Cody Forthofer stepped in for an injured Dawson Rodoni and led them to four touchdowns, twice throwing for scores and running for another.

The Rams were riding a 23-game win streak, built a 14-3 lead early in the second quarter thanks to touchdown runs by Layne Alexander and Michael Thomas, and regained the lead at 21-17 on Howie Martin’s quarterback sneak midway through the third before their offense stalled the rest of the way.

4. Manhattan (12-0)

Previous ranking: 4
