Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Saturday, December 20th. Buckle up, Bozeman, because today is packed with wind-whipped drama, hoops triumphs, and the football showdown of the century that has our town buzzing like never before.First off, those ferocious high winds that howled through early this morning left their mark in a big way. A towering 70-year-old pine tree on the Montana State University campus came crashing down between Sherrick and Reid halls, narrowly sparing the buildings from damage. Luckily, with students home for winter break, no one was hurt, but the gusts also sparked power outages across neighborhoods and businesses, knocking out traffic lights and turning drives into cautious adventures. Crews are out clearing debris and restoring power, so if youre heading around town, ease up on the gas and stay alertthose winds remind us how Mother Nature keeps Bozeman on its toes, protecting our community one close call at a time.Shifting to the courts, our Bozeman High girls basketball team just delivered a gritty road win over Glacier, 54-35, with Zahara Willis lighting it up for 12 points, including seven in the first quarter. That kind of fire early on set the tone, boosting team morale as they build momentum through the holidaysits the spark that turns solid play into something special for these young athletes chasing bigger victories.But lets be real, the heartbeat of Bozeman today is Bobcat Stadium, where the No. 2 seeded Montana State Bobcats face the No. 3 Montana Grizzlies in the FCS playoff semifinals at 2 pm. This 125th Cat-Griz clash is historicfirst ever in the postseason, with a ticket to the national championship on the line. The Bobcats, riding a 12-2 record and 3-0 home semis streak, edged the Griz 31-28 in November thanks to Justin Lamsons near-perfect passing, Caden Dowlers pick-six, and Zac Crews blocked kick. Coach Brent Vigen keeps it simple: treat it like every meaningful game theyve earned. Predictions lean Bobcats by a field goal or so, fueled by home-field roar and a defense that stifles passers.
