Capital High and Helena High played on the same days twice this week and came away with completely different scorelines each time — and somehow that's the story of both programs right now. Capital's boys soccer team opened the week with an 8-0 demolition of Flathead, then edged Big Sky 4-3 in a much tighter conference match, and the football program is sitting at 1-0 after a 21-14 non-conference road win over Great Falls Russell. The Bruins are doing damage across three sports simultaneously. Helena High, meanwhile, dropped a 5-0 soccer decision to Sentinel but bounced back to sweep on the road in both volleyball and soccer on Friday — showing the kind of resilience that doesn't always show up in the win column but tends to matter in November. For Helena sports fans, the week offered a genuinely fun split-screen: Capital winning decisively and often, Helena High finding its footing in real time. The conference season is young. The rivalry games are coming. And if Capital's boys soccer team keeps scoring eight goals in road matches, the conversation around Helena prep sports is going to get very interesting very quickly.
