Butler Varsity Boys Basketball team gets win in very special game tonight

The Butler Varsity Boys Basketball team picked up a win tonight 53-48 over the Nevada Tigers in the Butler Tournament. This was a very emotional night as prior to the game the new scoreboard in name of the late Kalee Chandler was dedicated to the bears den.

Senior Carter Trumbore led the bears in scoring with 26 points and 8 rebounds while fellow senior Dylan Davidson had 12 points and 13 rebounds. Sophomore Jake Chandler added 12 points to lead the bears to victory.

Butler will now play Saturday against the Rich Hill Tigers who defeated University Academy tonight 72-41. Rich Hill was led by Junior Dillon Coonce who had 19 points and 9 rebounds. 

In the Championship game of the Butler Tournament it will be KIPP Legacy Academy Gators vs St. Michael the Arch Angel Guardians in what should be a very physical game.
