Glacier Wolfpack's Football Coach Grady Bennett & Senior Will Astle Ready to Finish the Fight

The Glacier Wolfpack are hungry for redemption in 2025, and head coach Grady Bennett and senior Will Astle believe this is the year to finish the job. Bennett shares with Daily Inter Lake reporter Luke Schmit why this senior class is one of the most experienced and competitive groups he’s ever coached, while Astle opens up about the team’s leadership, preparation, and mindset heading into their season opener against Billings West. From life lessons on the field to the pursuit of a state championship, this Keeping Score dives deep into the culture, drive, and determination of Glacier football.

This summer, we followed the Brist family from their fifth-generation Montana farm to the bright lights of the Northwest Montana Fair. From early morning chores to the intensity of the show ring, their journey shows the hard work, tradition, and bittersweet goodbyes that come with raising livestock. Discover Season 4 of our Deep Dive podcast, From Farm to Fair — coming Sunday, September 21st!
