Butte High School

There will be lots of activity to enjoy on the local sports scene. Here's a look at what the Butte High Bulldogs and Butte Central Maroons have on tap this week.

With Divisionals still a couple of weeks away, final seedings and pairings are being determined as the final week of Western AA play coming up and very big games on the schedule. This week, the Butte High Bulldogs boys and girls basketball teams will celebrate Senior Parent Night at their final home games on Thursday evening and wrap up their regular seasons on Saturday.

The Butte High Bulldogs got a split against the Glacier High Wolfpack from Kalispell, MT on Tuesday with the girls getting nipped by 2 and the boys erasing a double-digit deficit to come away with a Western AA victory.

Butte High boys basketball team triumphs over Missoula Sentinel with a score of 62-54.

After giving Missoula Sentinel their first loss of the season, the Butte High Boys Basketball team is chomping at the bit to get back on the floor and after a hot start, the Bulldog girls are taking on all-comers. They'll get their chance this Friday and Saturday evenings at the Butte Civic Center as teams from the Flathead Valley come to town.

The Butte Central Maroons activities schedule for the week gets underway Tuesday and after recent performances, the Maroons presumably can't wait to get back on the hardwood. Wrestling and Speech & Debate are also in action.

It's never a dull game when the Dillon Beavers come to town and tonight should bring double the excitement as the Butte High Bulldogs host a girls/boys' doubleheader tonight at the Butte Civic Center.

Fall must be back because the Elks Lodge at 206 W. Galena is busy with events and this weekend there is something fun going on each day. Here's what we found for this weekend.

Today we officially end the preseason and work towards the first games, matches and meets of the season. And the Bulldogs are going big. This afternoon and through the evening the Butte Bulldogs will be putting late summer practices to the test as the football team hosts the annual Purple and White scrimmage, the cross country team puts on their varsity time trial, the volleyball team holds intrasquad scrimmages and both boys and girls soccer teams will scrimmage. In addition to the scrimmages, the Butte Athletic Council invites you to a complimentary barbecue starting at 5pm at Naranche Stadium.

Coming July 31 through August 2, the coaching staffs of both the Butte High boys and girls wrestling programs will conduct a wrestling camp for young athletes from 5 years of age up to incoming seniors.
