Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Sunday, December twenty first.

Bozeman is waking up with a big football glow this morning after the Montana State Bobcats punched their ticket to the national championship game with a statement win over the Montana Grizzlies, forty eight to twenty three at Bobcat Stadium.

High school hoops also brought some excitement to the Valley.
