Montana is home to some fantastic athletes, but recognition in the six-man football arena tends to carry some gravitas. Scouts look at these youth above traditionally setup football teams, since the six-man player has to work a little harder and know the game a little better to stand out.

Westby-Grenora coach Troy Walters (who led the 2017 state champion six-man team) has announced the roster with his picks for the upcoming Six-Man All-Star Game slated for June. The state's best players are divided into a Blue and Red team to duke it out during the hot summer in Highwood. One name on that roster stands out above the rest for those in Sanders County.

Noxon senior Dakota Carter was selected to round out what will be the Blue Team under Coach Walters. As per tradition, each player's school and community are asked to help offset the cost to help get the players to and from the game, and anything in between. Noxon supporters of Carter are seeking support from businesses and individuals in donations for jerseys, feeding and housing the team and coaches for the week of practice prior to the game.

Thus far, public thanks have been given to Noxon Booster Club, Thompson Falls Flooring, Apollo Hair Center, David Pafford, and J. Arneson for donations.

Those who would like to help Dakota Carter in joining the other Montana players in this honor can contact coach Bart Haflich or Matt Havens at 847-2442.
