The Southwest A announced it's all-conference and all-state selections for the 2022-23 basketball season and the Butte Central Maroons are aptly represented.
Days after breaking "Jumpin'" Joe Kelly's school record for all-time points, Dougie Peoples broke Mike McLeod's decades old single-game scoring record and the Butte Central Maroons won their 15th straight game by putting the mercy rule into effect on the Corvallis Blue Devils winning 82-53 Wednesday night at the Maroon Activities Center.
If the past 20 years have proven anything it is that early February is when Coach Brodie Kelly's teams begin to gel and if the past 5 or so seasons have proven anything it is that other coaches in Class A will have plenty to worry about should the Maroons make their expected postseason run.
Senior guard Dougie Peoples had 23 points for Butte Central and junior guard Jack Keeley came off the bench to add 21 as the Butte Central Maroons ran to a 76-47 win over crosstown rival Butte High Tuesday night at the Butte Civic Center.
