HELENA – Helena’s postseason hopes came to an end Friday with a 47-14 loss to Benjamin Russell to finish 3-3 in Class 6A, Region 3 action. The loss dropped the Huskies into a fourth-place tie with Calera, which holds the tiebreaker following its four-overtime, 52-51 victory on Oct. 14. 

Benjamin Russell wrapped up second place in the region with the win. The Wildcats were held to a pair of early field goals by Noah Alsobrook from 39 and 31-yards out to take a 6-0 lead. An interception at the Wildcats’ 44 set up the second scoring drive.
