Lady Bears Go Undefeated at Tri-Lakes Shootout



By Cody Morris, Tailgate TV

Branson, MO – The Butler Lady Bears Basketball team made a statement at the Tri-Lakes Shootout in Branson last week, with the varsity squad going undefeated in the summer tournament.

The Lady Bears varsity team played six games in just two and a half days, finishing with an impressive 6-0 record. Their wins came against a tough lineup of opponents, including Ozark (AR), Woodland (MO), Dardanelle (AR), Crest Ridge (MO), Ozark Mountain (AR), and a competitive travel team from Arkansas known as the Lightning. One of the highlights of the weekend was an overtime victory against Ozark Mountain, where the Lady Bears showed grit and determination to pull off the win.

Beyond the wins, coaches praised the players for their teamwork, communication, and their ability to make in-game adjustments. The girls have been working hard all summer, setting the stage for what looks to be an exciting winter season ahead. Coach Lacey Cook tells Tailgate TV that the girls are “really looking promising for next year!” – and we agree!

The trip wrapped up with a well-earned visit to Silver Dollar City, where the team celebrated their success.
