Vote here for Prep Athletes of the Week!

This week was perhaps the busiest of the fall season in prep football with games spread out over four days thanks to the MEA-MFT Educators' Conference.

This lucky reporter got to see four football games in four days thanks to those reshuffled schedules. (I drove 846 miles total to get to those four games.) But a lot of football – and a lot of Dave Matthews Band – later, I saw some pretty spectacular performances. One of those, a standout from Fairfield, merits a spot with our boys' Athlete of the Week nominees. That young man is joined by one of Great Falls High's finest on the soccer pitch and a Six-Man football standout up near the Canadian border.

Two of our girls' nominees come from closer to home as well, more specifically from the west side of the Missouri and C.M. Russell High School. The two Rustlers are joined by a Scottie who can really hoof it.

Thanks to everyone who nominated athletes, and please remember to head over to gftrib.com to vote before the polls close at 10 p.m. on Tuesday. The winners will be featured in the Preps Plus edition of Thursday's Tribune. If the polls don't appear right away on your screen, just click refresh to make them appear.

Our girls' nominees are:

• Kylie Greenwell, CMR's keeper, pitched a shutout in the Rustlers' 1-0 victory over Billings Skyview on Saturday. She also held a high-scoring Billings West offense to just one goal in a 1-1 draw Friday.

• Glasgow harrier Josie Braaten ran to first place in Plentywood's cross country invite on Saturday with a time of 19:32. She'll lead the favored Scotties into this weekend's state meet in Helena.

• CMR defensive specialist Myla Robbins served up four aces in the Rustler volleyball team's sweep of Butte on Thursday. Robbins also tallied eight digs and a kill in what was CMR's first conference win of the season.

Our boys' nominees are:

• Jackson Nagy caught, threw and rushed for touchdowns in Sunburst's blowout win over Heart Butte Wednesday. Nagy actually snagged a pair of touchdowns from two different teammates: Paul Ehlers and Tyler Tharp. His TD pass in the second quarter was caught by Tharp.

• Fairfield backup quarterback Tanner Mayer sure looked like a starter in Friday's decisive win over previously unbeaten Conrad. Mayer rushed for four touchdowns and threw for 199 yards for the undefeated Eagles, filling in for injured starter Dalton Palmer.

• John Leonard had a big weekend for Great Falls High's surging soccer team. The senior assisted Jamie Mitchell's game-winning goal over Skyview Friday afternoon before scoring one of his own in Thursday's 4-4 draw with West.
