Hudson Luedtke

The Butte High Bulldogs hosted the Glacier High School Wolfpack from Kalispell in a boys-girls basketball doubleheader at the Butte Civic Center on Friday evening and came out victorious in both contests.

Butte's 6'9 center, Braylon Larson, put the exclamation point on the win with a thunderous breakaway dunk as time expired and the Butte High Bulldogs boys basketball team scored the game's final 5 points in getting past the Missoula Hellgate Knights 61-57 Friday evening at Ross J. Richardson Memorial Gymnasium.

The big question is really not if, but when Hudson Luedtke becomes Butte High Boys Basketball's all-time leading scorer. He needs 20 points to achieve the feat, and the team has a couple of games this week. Here is a look at where you can find Hudson and all of the Butte High students involved in extra-curricular activities this week.

Butte High junior guard Hudson Luedtke led all scorers and a furious Bulldog 4th quarter charge, netting 18 points and eclipsing the 1,000-point career scoring mark in the process as the Bulldogs beat Missoula Big Sky 51-44 Friday night at the Butte Civic Center.

The road to the State Tournament in Missoula starts in Butte this Thursday as the Western AA Divisional Boys and Girls Basketball Tournament gets underway, and the Butte High boys fully expect to be one of the four teams advancing to the State AA tournament the following week in Missoula. And with good reason. The Dogs are coming in red-hot, riding a six-game winning streak and winners of 7 of their last 8 games. Let's take a look at their first-round matchup and potential opponents on the road to a berth at State

Butte High's Rueso Batterman caught a pass from Hudson Luedtke with under five seconds to play, and as had been his specialty all evening, he found a man open under the bucket. That man was Dylan "Bobby" Bache whose layup off the backboard fell through as the horn sounded and forced overtime against the Missoula Big Sky Eagles in Ross J. Richardson Memorial Gymnasium Friday evening in a Western AA boys basketball contest. From there, it was all Butte. The Bulldogs outscored the Eagles 9-2 in the extra stanza and came away with a 72-63 win that saw big runs by both teams throughout the game.

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.

The Butte High boys and girls both jumped out to big first quarter leads and both were able to weather the storm in sweeping the Flathead Braves Tuesday evening at the Butte Civic Center with the boys winning 63-54 and the girls holding on for a 57-51 victory.

The Bulldogs would cut the Hellgate lead to 6 at 47-41, but behind a bucket and a pair of free-throws from junior guard Chance McNulty, the Knights would extend their lead to 9 with 1:30 to play and ultimately hang on for a 56-43 win in the Western AA opener for both programs.
