    Flathead Baseball’s Historic Debut: Miles Arrowsmith Throws No-Hitter & Hits Grand Slam

    Flathead baseball couldn’t have asked for a more dominant opening day—and Miles Arrowsmith delivered a performance to match. This week’s Poster Player of the Week honors Arrowsmith after a historic breakout in the Braves’ season debut. He was lights-out on the mound with four no-hit innings and made his mark at the plate with a towering grand slam—the first home run in Flathead High School baseball history—finishing with five RBIs in a commanding 19-3 win over East Helena. After a competitive start, Flathead erupted in a game-changing third inning, capitalizing on disciplined at-bats and sharp in-game adjustments to blow things open. The offensive surge, paired with Arrowsmith’s dominance, powered the Braves to a statement victory in their first-ever game at ABS Park. If opening day is any indication, Flathead baseball is building something special—and the rest of the Valley is officially on notice!

    Gold Medals and Life-Changing Moments: The 2026 Montana State Wrestling Championship Recap

    The mats have been rolled up at First Interstate Arena, and the Keeping Score team is back to break down an unforgettable weekend of high-stakes competition. Host Luke Schmit sits down with Daily Inter Lake sports reporter Jon Allen to review the 2026 All-Class State Wrestling Tournament in Billings, where local athletes from across the Flathead Valley left their mark on history. The conversation highlights the incredible resilience of the Flathead High girls’ team, who defied pre-tournament rankings to secure a second-place trophy. We dive into the details of Julia Kay’s dominant performance to claim her third state title and the narrow 9-8 decision that saw Taylor Lay edge out Bella Downing in their latest championship chapter. Jon explains the high-drama finish for Kohen Riley, who had to return to the mat for a final six seconds due to a rare rule change to clinch his first state victory. The episode also examines the continued dominance of the Billings West dynasty and the historic achievement of Mikhail Aguayo, who joined the elite ranks of four-time state champions. Beyond the veterans, we look at the rising stars of the sport, including eighth-grade champions Crew O’Connor and Carly Gorder, and the impressive team performance by Huntley Project in the B/C division. Stay tuned until the end as we discuss a heartwarming moment that no one had on their bingo card—a championship victory for Blaise Cronk that transitioned immediately into a surprise on-the-mat proposal.
