Flathead High School boys and girls basketball are officially back, and Keeping Score takes you inside both programs ahead of opening weekend. Host Luke Schmit sat down with seven players and coaches — Grace Gall, Taylor Greene, Caitlin Converse, Coach Kelly Fox, Coach Dan Trageser, Boston Case, and Ben Reichner — to break down team chemistry, off-season growth, key returners, leadership, and the defensive identity they’re building for the season.

The girls highlight improved chemistry and deeper post play, while the boys discuss buying into culture, embracing new roles, and leaning on versatility and length. Both programs open the season against Great Falls, and both say the same thing: they’re ready to compete from day one.

This summer, we followed the Brist family from their fifth-generation Montana farm to the bright lights of the Northwest Montana Fair. From early morning chores to the intensity of the show ring, their journey shows the hard work, tradition, and bittersweet goodbyes that come with raising livestock. Discover Season 4 of our Deep Dive podcast, From Farm to Fair — coming Sunday, September 21st!
