Anaconda Copperheads

As far as nonconference basketball games go, this is going to be a pretty big night. Sure, it's nonconference, but when you put Butte Central and Anaconda together, as they say, you can throw out the records.

Last weekend at the Class B & C Western Divisional Wrestling Tournament in Pablo, the Anaconda Copperheads did more than "show up"; instead, they let competitors know "what's up"! The tournament was a victory on many levels for Anaconda Copperhead contenders. So much so that several wrestlers from the Smelter City ceremoniously boarded a Tucker Transportation Bus yesterday morning to make their way to the State Wrestling Tournament in Billings! In true Copperhead style, a car rally led by loyal fans, parents, and the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Police and Fire Departments, lined the streets to support AJHS wrestlers on their journey.

Tomorrow night, February 10th, the Memorial Gym in Anaconda will come alive as they host the Florence Flacons in double header basketball action. The matchup will be memorable for many, especially since it's also Senior Night! Prospectively, the boys & girls JV teams will begin play in the late afternoon with Senior Night festivities expected to take place at 5 p.m. and prior to the varsity games. Those honored tomorrow during Senior Night are dedicated athletes and musicians preparing to graduate in the spring. Students who have participated in basketball, cheerleading, orchestra and band will be recognized with their parents in arm during the ceremony. With that being said, hats off to Gabe Galle who will be the lone upper letterman basketball player to grace the court for Senior Night. As for the Copperhead Wrestling team who just took home their first team divisional championship, they celebrated their Senior Night on January 24th!
