The defense on both sides dominated action from the be ginning. Each team had chances to score in the first h alf, b ut the defense would rise to the occa sion to turn back the would-be threat th e second h a lf was much of the same 'as regulation time ended with theteams deadlocked 0-0. , Butte Central won the toss and elected to defend their goal first in the Montana Playoff format After a three-yard gain by Shawn Allen on first down, quarterback Rich Ferris found Brad Doig in the comer of the end zone with the first score of thegame. WiU Taylor tacked on the extra point and the Beavers led 7-0. The Maroons then had their chance and on third-and-goal firom the one Guy Ossello punched the b all across the goal line to cut the lead to 7-6. Butte Central elected to go for the win with the two-point conversion. Ossello got the call but was buried in the backfield by Joe Siaperas, Ferris, Jason Peter son, and Dyle Stoddard. Ferris completed 12 of 24 passes for 178 yards in his final high school game. Senior Tory Taylor led the Beaver ground attack with 49 yards on nine totes. Brad Doig capped a fine senior season with eight catches for 108 yards. Seniors Joe Siaperas and Dyle Stoddard dominated the game from their defensive positions. Siaperas recorded 25 tackles, three sacks, and blocked a punt from his defensive tackle posi tion. Linebacker Stoddard swarmed a ll over the field and was in on 22 stops. Jon Hansen added 10 tackles from his defen sive tackle spot. I t was a defensive battle a ll evening,” noted Head Coach Terry Thomas. \ It seemed that when our offense moved the ball their defense would come up with thebigplays. Our defense came up with key plays that stopped their offense when they threat ened to score. “We had trouble with our inside runninggame, but we had success getting outside. When they forced us into passing situ ations Rich (Ferris) did a good job of getting the' b a ll to our receivers.\ The Beavers closed the sea son with a 5-3 record. *We played eight games of hard-hitting football,\ said Tho mas. “We were competitive in eveiy game. I was pleased with the way our inexperienced kids played this year and carried us through some tight spots. \I feel that our players have displayed a winning attitude in practice and games. The kids played hard from starters through each member of our team. “We came within one minute Heading playoff bound Brown ing 17-14 with a minute to play, before bowing 20-17) of making the playoffs. We feel we have a playoff caliber team,” added Thomas.

Dillon played host to 165 senior bowlers over a three week span. Let’s start off today hy clarifying something. The Western Montana College Triathlon held Oct 14 was sponsored by the Business Club, IA Tech Club, and the Vigilante Roadnmners. In last week's paper we said that the Triathlon was sponsored by the Associated Students of Western Montana CoUege (ASWMC). The Western Montana College men’s basket ball team, NAIA National Tournament q ualifi ers last year, will have their first innersquad scrimmage Thursday in Drummond. Western basketball player Neal Clark hails firom Drum mond. The school record 48-yard field goal by Western’s Mike Clemens against Rocky last weekend apparently h it the cross-bar and bounced over. I’m sure he will take i t Clemens drilled a 41-yard field goal later in the ball game. Clemens is the premier kicker in the league and deserves All-Conference honors. Sure Bob Tope! of Carroll College has more field goals and e*tra-points but are the Saints in field goal range when they cross the mid-field stripe? It was tough to see the football season end a t BCHS. Head Coach Teny Thomas and his staff did another fine job this season putting a win ner on the field. Thomas started the season with a lot of question marks and loads of inex perienced players. By season’s end people knew who the Dillon Beavers were and that to beat them you would have to play a t the top of their game. Afewbreakshereorlhere and this would have been another playoff team for Thomas. Now that football and cross-country are over, and girls basketball is winding down, it ’s time to start hyping the winter sports a t BCHS. Let's start with boys basketball Head Coach Craig Finberg returns an experienced squad that will be one of the favorites in the Central \A” Conference. You w ill have to get out and see the Beavers early as they play eight of th e irfirst 10 games at home. After Jan. 12 the Beavers will only have two home contests left • against Belgrade Jan. 27, and Deer Lodge Feb. 10. Their first home game will be Dec. 15 against Helena Capital. The Beaver wrestlers, under the guidance of slave driver Butch Donovan, will field one of the top teams in the state. Donovan’s young kids have matured and bring into the season top notch varsity experience. This team could be the sleeper for the state title. New BCHS Head volleyball Coach Jay Burgin will take over a volleyball program that b u ilt a fine tradition under former head man Dan Thomas, Thomas compiled an impressive rec ord and led the Beavers to a second place finish a t the State Tournament in 1986. Ironically it was the Whitefish Bulldogs, coached by Burgin, that defeated the Beavers in the State Champi onship match. What a small world!
