BIG SKY – Eddie Starz is taking his talents to Helena’s Carroll College and made it official on his signing day May 19 at Lone Peak High School.
The Big Horns’ standout quarterback, and star basketball player, will join the storied Montana football program after considering three other schools—Washington’s University of Puget Sound, and the University of St. Thomas and St. Olaf College in Minnesota.
“I chose Carroll because it felt like the like the right fit for me,” Starz said. “They have a great coaching staff, great program, and I’m just excited to be a part of it.”
Starz received All-State football honors in 2015 and 2016, the first season the program moved to Class C 8-man from the 6-man division.
Carroll’s assistant coach Jim Hogan traveled from Helena for Starz’s signing day in Big Sky.
“The thing that we see in him is that he’s got a passion to play football,” Hogan said. “When you watch his film, he’s very athletic, very mobile and it appears that he makes good decisions out there on the field.”
Hogan said there are a couple of other quarterbacks joining this year’s class, but as the offensive line coach, he’s particularly impressed by Starz’s mobility.
“I like those scramblers, those guys that set up a little longer in the pocket,” he said. “I think that Eddie stacks up very well in terms of the guys that are coming in, and what better program to go to [to] raise your athletic abilities. … It’ll be fun to watch that growth.”
Carroll College is a private Roman Catholic liberal arts school and a traditional powerhouse in the Frontier Conference of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. They had a down year last season, finishing in the middle of the pack, but have won the conference championship 40 times including back-to-back titles in 2013 and 2014.
The Fighting Saints have also won six NAIA national championships with their most recent title coming in 2010.
Hogan said the Frontier Conference is likely the most competitive in the NAIA division.
“The teams in this conference really prepare you for the playoffs,” he said. “We’ve been very successful over the years, and we continue to work to get back on track this year.”
Starz returns to the field in Butte on Saturday, June 3, to play in the Bob Cleverley All-Star Treasure State Classic. He’s been preparing with morning and evening sessions in the LPHS gym, according to athletic director and head football coach Matt Bakken.
“That work ethic will allow him to be successful at Carroll College,” Bakken said. “He’s just an all-around outstanding kid, terrific leader and athlete.”

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
