Phillips, Cutler named to Southwest Montana High School Basketball Classic
BUTTE – Seven local basketball players were granted postseason honors this week with the release of the rosters for the Southwest Montana High School Basketball Classic.
The games will be played Wednesday, March 18, at the Montana Tech HPER Complex. The girls will play at 6 p.m. followed by the boys at 7:30.
Granite County landed two starters on this year’s rosters. Sydney Phillips was chosen from the Lady Trojans to play for the Treasure State Girls squad while the Prospectors’ Kade Cutler was chose to suit up for the Treasure State Boys. Both players were juniors this season for their respective teams.
Getting the nod as alternates for the girls were Lady Trojans Hannah Bradshaw (Drummond, Jr), Rylee Hilmo (Drummond, Sr) and Holly Hauptman (Drummond, Fr) and Granite’s Amelia Hill (Granite, Jr) and Asha Comings (Granite, So).
Rosters were selected by a committee of sport writers, broadcasters, and media personnel after receiving nominations from the coaches of participating schools.
Each game will include three-point contests at half-time. The Butte High School and Butte Central Bands will be in attendance, along with the cheer squads from Butte High School.
Tickets for the games will be available Tuesday, March 10 at the Butte Chamber of Commerce, 1000 George Street and can also be bought online at 2020allstarclassic.eventbrite.com, and on the day of the game at the HPER Complex.
