BILLINGS - Four weeks ago, the Skyview Falcons were 2-4. Today, they're 6-4, and are one of the hottest teams headed into the AA playoffs.

The Falcons beat West, 24-7, Friday night, capping their charge into the playoff race. Daine Muller rushed for a touchdown and caught another, as Skyview scored 24 unanswered after the Bears took a 7-0 lead late in the 1st quarter.

With the win, Skyview unofficially clinched the #7 seed in the playoffs. West's loss catapults them from a potential #1 seed to the #6 seed.

Here are the rest of tonight's AA scores:

Bozeman 57, Billings Senior 8
Great Falls CMR 43, Great Falls High 10
Kalispell Flathead 35, Missoula Hellgate 29
Kalispell Glacier 21, Missoula Big Sky 10

Based on those results, here is what we believe the AA playoff standings will look like:

1. Glacier
2. Butte
3. CMR
4. Helena
5. Bozeman
6. West
7. Skyview
8. Capital

Again, these are unofficial, but it looks like tomorrow's game between Helena and Helena Capital will not matter, seeding wise.

If these are correct, West will travel to CMR in Round 1 of the playoffs next weekend, and Skyview will travel to Butte.

The official pairings will be announced later this weekend.
