Capital High's varsity football team handed the Missoula Hellgate Knights a lopsided 56-26 defeat Friday, October 9, in a non-conference game played in Helena. The 30-point margin was a convincing home performance for the Bruins and a difficult road trip for the Knights.
Hellgate made the trip across the divide and left without much to show for it. The final score — 56-26 — reflects a game that was largely in Capital's control throughout. Details on individual scoring drives and standout players were not immediately available, but the margin speaks to a Bruins squad playing well on their home turf this fall.
For Capital fans, a win of that size in mid-October is an encouraging sign heading into the back half of the regular season. Hellgate, meanwhile, will regroup at home in Missoula looking to bounce back from the road loss.
