BILLINGS — Jackson Presley threw four touchdowns passes Friday, two to Cohen Kastelitz, and the Glacier Wolfpack downed Billings Senior 49-7 at Daylis Stadium.

The Pack (2-0) piled up 454 yards of offense to make short work of their opponent after a long drive across Montana.

“I’m really proud of the kids,” Glacier coach Grady Bennett said. “No matter what, to get on the bus at 6 a.m., drive for eight hours, that’s a real challenge. Any way you slice it, driving to Billings and getting a win in one day is a big accomplishment. The guys played well.”

Bridger Smith scored twice for Glacier, first with a 1-yard run and then by hauling in Presley’s fourth touchdown pass, covering 14 yards early in the second half.

Presley then ran 2 yards for a TD to cap the scoring on the first play of the fourth quarter.

The sophomore also hit Kastelitz with strikes covering 20 and 42 yards — the latter made it 35-0 — and found Kole Johnson for 10 yards and another touchdown.

“He’s just such a good decision maker,” Bennett said of his QB. “I thought Billings Senior would dial up the heat and bring pressure, because he’s still a sophomore, he’s young in his career.

“Jackson handled it pretty well. I think they got to him one time, but for the most part he made great decisions. He proved he could stand up under the pressure for sure.”

Running back Kobe Dorcheus had a 6-yard TD run among his 73 rushing yards. Kash Goicoechea picked off Senior quarterback Peyton Oakley twice, and Carson Baker also had a pick.

The Wolfpack stays on the road to play Butte next Friday.
