Dane Steel Talks About FCS Championship Game Hurdle: Earlier this week, a former Sheridan High School Football Player arguably had the #1 highlight of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision National Championship Game.
Bronc graduate, and current Montana State University redshirt freshman Dane Steel caught a pass in the 2nd quarter, hurdled a would-be tackler and managed to score on what was a 33 yard touchdown play.
Those that know Steel from his high school days, know that during the spring season, he played soccer and did not participate in track and field.
Here’s how the play went down from his perspective.
He says he’s seen the various angles of video replays and explains which one he liked best.
Montana State would defeat Illinois State 35-34 in overtime to win the FCS National Championship.

In Junior Hockey, the Sheridan Hawks split weekend road games this past weekend at Bozeman.
Vincent Leaf scored 4 times in Friday’s 7-2 win.
While getting the road split is normally the goal each weekend, a familiar problem has returned and that is that Sheridan has been unable to follow up on a big win.
Leaf says it’s usually the same players on both teams the next day, but the style of play sometimes changes and the Hawks sometimes have trouble remembering that.
Sheridan is on the road this weekend for a 2-game series against Great Falls.
