Stentoft Achieves Success In Froid

Senior Profile

Froid High School senior Brett Stentoft has achieved many successes and has created many great memories during his high school days.

Stentoft’s club activities have included Explore America, Business Professionals of America and FFA.

He’s excited that he will be part of the Explore America group that will travel to Arizona this month. Stops will include the Grand Canyon.

“It’s going to be pretty fun,” Stentoft said. “We’re going with the Lake kids, so that will be cool.”

He was a member of Froid’s BPA program that participated at the state leadership conference during March. Stentoft competed in areas such as advanced spreadsheets and advanced office systems, “It teaches you about how to run your business one day,” Stentoft said of BPA.

He said he really enjoyed meeting students from throughout Montana during the state conference.

As far as FFA, Stentoft said his favorite competition was ag mechanics.

In sports, Stentoft was a standout in both football and basketball. He earned All-State honors in football and All-Conference recognition in basketball.

His football career featured consecutive six-man state championships, something that Stentoft couldn’t imagine happening when he entered high school.

“When I first started high school, I didn’t know if we would win our a game,” Stentoft said.

He credits assistant coach Jalen Hendrickson for helping turn the program around by getting students into the weight room.

An impressive comeback victory in Savage during Stentoft’s junior season got the Red Hawks on the right track. “When we started blowing out all the teams in our conference, we knew we were good,” he said.

His basketball career included the program’s first trip in many years when he was a junior and placing at the state tourney as a senior.

“Second place isn’t bad at State,” Stentoft noted.

He’s excited to continue his football career as a linebacker at Dickinson State University in North Dakota.

“It should be fun. I get to play football for four or five more years,” Stentoft said.

He plans to major in an agriculture- related field. His father farms and ranches in the Froid area, and Stentoft plans to return to northeast Montana after college.

“I’ve been pretty lucky going to school in Froid,” Stentoft said.

Froid’s graduation class this school year consists of four students.

“It’s nice because I know all of them and they are all friends,” Stentoft said. “It makes it easier to get help from teachers.”
