Fresh off a state championship in the Class B/C 8-player bracket of the Montana High School Association (MHSA), the Blue Hawk football team was notified this week that they will be moving up a division in 2022.

MHSA met Monday to discuss redistricting and decided that Thompson Falls will move back to 11-player football for the 2022 season. The Hawks will be in the West Division, which will also include Anaconda, Bigfork, Eureka, Whitehall, Loyola and Florence.
