MTN’s Scott Breen will handle play-by-play duties while Greg Upham will serve as color analyst. Tom Wylie and Dante Williams are the sideline reporters.

The East team will be coached this year by Billings West's Rob Stanton, who finished his ninth season leading the Golden Bears in 2023. Stanton guided West to a Class AA state title in 2018; the Bears were runners-up in 2020 and 2021. The West team will be led by former Florence coach Pat Duchien, who guided the Falcons to the past three Class B state titles.

The West won last year's game in Butte by a 45-13 score. It was the West's third consecutive win, which snapped a three-game streak for the East. The East leads the all-time series 41-35.
