Great Falls High held its first “Night of Champions” during the 2024 season.
Great Falls High has won 16 state football championships dating back to 1905, according to MHSA records. The Bison were back-to-back state winners in 1905-06, 1948-49 and 1973-74.
The Bison last won a gridiron title in 1988 under head coach Dale Pohle, defeating Billings West 9-6 at Memorial Stadium behind three field goals from Tim Klinger – with the game-winner coming from 24 yards out with 11 seconds to go as Great Falls High finished the season 11-1.
