Butte tops Bravettes, Braves at Flathead gym

Flathead’s Braves and Bravettes fell short on the basketball court Saturday afternoon, with visiting Butte closing out one game late (girls) and building a big lead early (boys) for two Western AA wins.

The second game saw the Bulldogs build a 20-point lead over the Flathead boys, before the winless Braves got in scramble mode and pared the lead down to 10 in the fourth.

Guard Hudson Luedtke helped Butte close out the 70-62 win with eight fourth-quarter points.
