Columbia Falls’ Hope McAtee racking up huge numbers on the pitch
Last Tuesday, while the Columbia Falls Wildkats were in Bigfork taking on the Valkyries, senior Hope McAtee assisted on a goal by teammate Josie Harris in the first half of the game. It might have looked like just any other soccer play, but it marked a big milestone for McAtee — she’d tied the all-class state record for most career assists, 59, set by her former teammate Maddie Robison in 2021. Now a few games out from that, McAtee is up to 64 career assists.

It took a little while, but the Columbia Falls Wildcats found their groove in the middle of the first half and cruised to a 6-0 win over the Bigfork Vikings on Tuesday in Northwest A boys soccer.
