Cadence Graham was simply golden. The 8th-grade reserve showed the poise of a four-year letterman by draining a three-pointer from the right corner with 3.5 seconds to play, leading the Butte High Bulldogs a 51-50 win over the Helena High Bengals Tuesday night at Ross J. Richardson Memorial Gymnasium.

The Butte Bulldogs scored the first nine points of the second half and were able to maintain a comfortable cushion throughout the rest of the game, beating the Missoula Sentinel Spartans 46-31
