Bravettes blank Sentinel in soccer
The sister scoring combination of Skyleigh Thompson, a sophomore, to Shayenn Thompson, a senior, produced both goals in Flathead’s 2-0 Western AA girls soccer victory on Thursday over Missoula Sentinel at Kidsports Complex.
Shayenn Thompson netted her first goal at 58 minutes and followed with the second at 65.
Skyleigh Thompson assisted on both as Flathead improved to 2-5-1 overall, 2-3-1 league.
“They work really well together and with the team, too,” Flathead coach Bledy Doda said of the Thompsons. “Our team helps them a lot also.”
Flathead outshot Sentinel 12-8 and led in corner kicks 4-1. Aaris Hill had eight keeper saves for the Bravettes.
“We came with our game, did our job,” Doda said. “I’m so happy with the girls, how they played today.”

Both teams had eight shots on goal.
Sophie Smith and Ellie Keller shared Glacier’s keeper duties and totaled six saves.

Max Warnell had two keeper saves for Flathead.

Hellgate 8, Glacier 1
Matt Baldridge scored three goals and assisted on one as Hellgate hammered Glacier in a Western AA match at Glacier High School.
“They look like the team they were at the state championship last year,” Glacier coach Ryan Billiet said. “Just to be at that level at this point of the season is pretty impressive.”
Billiet said the Wolfpack “put pressure on the field at times,” but Hellgate’s experience won out.
