Billings West High School’s football team is off to a flying start in conference play, rolling past Great Falls in convincing fashion to open the new season’s league schedule, according to 406 Sports.
The Golden Bears entered the matchup ranked No. 1, and they lived up to that billing with a performance that left little doubt about their standing atop the conference. The win signals that Billings West is once again a team to watch as the season heats up across Montana’s high school football landscape.
Meanwhile, Billings-area fans have even more to look forward to on the sports calendar. The PBR Velocity Tour — part of the Professional Bull Riders circuit — is set to make a stop right here in Billings in April 2027, according to 406 Sports. The announcement is welcome news for rodeo enthusiasts and sports fans alike, promising a high-energy event that draws competitors and spectators from across the region.
The PBR Velocity Tour is one of the premier developmental tours in professional bull riding, showcasing some of the sport’s most exciting up-and-coming talent alongside seasoned veterans. Billings, with its deep roots in Western culture and its well-established event venues, is a natural fit for the tour’s stop.
Together, these two stories paint a picture of a community that loves its sports — from the Friday night lights of high school football to the dust and adrenaline of professional bull riding. Whether you’re cheering on the Golden Bears or counting down the days until the PBR rolls into town, there’s plenty of excitement ahead for Billings sports fans this season and beyond.
