I think the coaches are trying to kill usl Yeah, after the summer I had it will probably kill me. -Man, am I out of shape. Getting back into the rigors of practice takes a lot from every player and coach. Some of the guys took summer vacation for all it was worth and found when football season came the vacation wasn't worth it. Of course, there were the dedicated few who went into summer conditioning and lifted weights to keep those muscles taut.

SS if OD! Adding to the excitement of football games was always the glimmer of hope that time would run out and the game would belong to the Hawks. But it seemed the game went on just a little too long and, as the final seconds ticked away, the score slipped out of the Hawk's hold. Going into overtime in the conference opener against Helena High, the Hawks scored a touchdown on the fourth down, making the score 35-34, Helena leading. The Hawks lost, however, after failing to make the two point conversion. Bozeman faced four of the top five rated teams in the AA Power Poll within the next six weeks.
