Maroons to Host Beavers in Must Win Senior Night

The Butte Central Maroons will return home this Friday to face the Dillon Beavers in a

key Southwestern A contest. The winner of the game will earn the 3 rd and final playoff birth from the Conference. The game will also be senior night for BC players Keltan Keane, JJ Taylor, Jack Nagle, Colt Hassler, Tony Stajcar, and Ryan Peoples.

“Our guys have worked hard to earn a chance to make the playoffs,” said head coach

Don Peoples. “I’m confident that they will be ready to play against an outstanding Dillon team.”

The Maroons enter the game with a 4-3 record and the Beavers sport a deceiving 2-6

record. The Beavers have played one of the toughest schedules in Montana and all six

of their losses are to teams that have already qualified for the playoffs.

The Maroons have defeated Hardin, Ronan, Corvallis, and Stevensville to earn four

victories. The Beavers have victories over Corvallis and Stevensville. The winner of the

game will travel to the 2 nd seed in the Northwestern A next weekend.

The Maroons will enter the game featuring one of the top passing offenses in Class A.

QB Ryan Peoples has thrown for 1,270 yards and 15 touchdowns. His TD total is 2 nd

among Class A’s twenty-four QB’s. Maroon receivers Joshua Sutton (440 yards) and

GG Fantini (323 yards) are both in the top 10 in receiving yards. Treigh Hollow, Jack

Nagle, and Henley Mansanti are also top targets for the Maroon passing game.

Maroon fans are urged to come out and cheer on the team Friday night. The game has

been tabbed a “White Out” and supporters are urged to dress in white BC swag. Game
