Season Opener Thriller
The Helena Capital football squad opened its season with a hard‑fought 21‑14 victory over CMR, a game that swung in the final minutes as the defense held firm.
Carson Toivonen was the offensive catalyst, accounting for three of the team's scores and driving the attack forward when it mattered most.
Key Plays
Quarterback Kasey Kegel connected on two touchdown passes, an 11‑yard strike to Blake Katz and a 25‑yard throw to Devyn Smith, each putting points on the board at crucial junctures.
The defense capped the night with a fourth‑down stop, denying CMR a potential game‑changing drive into Bruins' territory and preserving the narrow lead.
CMR's home debut took place at Memorial Stadium in Missoula on September 4, where the crowd witnessed a back‑and‑forth contest that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
