On the night of Sept. 12, all of those who were members of football title teams are invited to a dinner and meet-and-greet with the current Great Falls High football team.

The Bison last won a gridiron title in 1988 under head coach Dale Pohle, defeating Billings West 9-6 at Memorial Stadium behind three field goals from Tim Klinger – with the game-winner coming from 24 yards out with 11 seconds to go as Great Falls High finished the season 11-1.
