RBs Landers Smith, Ethan Renner power No. 10 Montana Tech past MSU-Northern
BUTTE — Landers Smith and Ethan Renner ran wild Saturday to help Montana Tech race past MSU-Northern 54-14 in Frontier Conference football.
Smith had 140 rushing yards and three touchdowns while Renner had 127 yards and two scores as the No. 10-ranked Orediggers rolled over the Lights from the second quarter on.
Quarterback Blake Thelen completed 17 of 19 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns for Montana Tech, which prevailed on Senior Day in front of its home fans.
Northern running back Mason Dionne had 122 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Zach Brooks also threw a touchdown pass for the Lights, a 40-yarder to Cael White in the third quarter.
Dylan Root made two field goals for the Orediggers, both from 34 yards.
Montana Tech improved to 8-2 overall and 5-2 in the Frontier Conference with the win. The Orediggers will face Carroll next week.
The Lights are now 0-9 overall and 0-7 in the league. They’ll finish their season next week at home against Rocky Mountain College.
If a furry, playful, hugg-able, lovable kitten would be a great addition to your place, now’s the time to visit the Humane Society of Western Montana.
MEET BAKER AND BUSBOY
It was another Take Me Home Tuesday at the radio stations with the Humane Society. Katie brought in “Baker” (black kitty) and “Busboy” (gray kitty), who along with their two siblings “Chef” and “Cook” form a Fantastic Four of pure joy.
These two-month-old little ones were found in the Polson area and surrendered to the shelter. They just had their spay/neuter surgeries Monday (July 13) and they will be looking for their forever homes starting Wednesday (July 15).
Whether you are looking for one kitten or the whole “kitchen,” visit the shelter and fall in love with Baker, Busboy, Chef and Cook.
EVER CONSIDERED BEING A FOSTER HOME FOR SHELTER PETS?
It is kitten season at the Humane Society of Western Montana. The Humane Society is always looking for Fosters to take care of tiny kittens until they are old enough to be adopted. They currently have some that are with mom cats, and some that are bottle babies. And there is always a need for volunteers willing to nurture them until they are of adoption age.
And of course one of the perks of being a Foster is, if you fall in love with a kitten, you pretty much get first dibs.

They are open from 1:00 – 6:00 pm Wednesdays through Sundays at 5930 Highway 93 South in Missoula. See more cats AND dogs waiting to be adopted on the shelter’s ADOPT webpage here.
