The Montana Tech Men's Basketball team is back in action tonight and tomorrow as the Montana Tech Fall Classic tips off amid an incredibly busy weekend for Digger Athletics. The Montana Tech men will take the court tonight at 7pm at Kelvin Sampson Court against Dickenson State University in the nightcap of a doubleheader which will tip-off at 5pm with the University of Providence Argos taking on the LC State Warriors

The Outdoor Summer Classic will be played August 9th and 10th at the Butte Family YMCA at 2975 Washoe and is open to kids entering pre-kindergarten to 8th grade. The tournament will be grouped into age divisions and groupings will be dependent upon the number of entries. Interested teams are to be of the same grade, although younger players will be allowed to play on older teams. Just not the other way around. Teams can consist of boys and girls from the same grade level. Teams are guaranteed at least three games each and the games will be played to either 15 points or 20 minutes, whatever comes first. Each court will have an official monitor and a set of tournament rules will be given to each team upon registration. Teams will be limited to 4 players per team, every player will receive a tournament t-shirt and awards will be given out to the winners of each division.

Played on Granite Street in Historic Uptown Butte, this is a one of a kind basketball event for everyone.

Basketball is in the air! From college and professional play to high school match-ups and your kiddo's grade school games, basketball fans can't get enough! Locally, here's even more icing on the cake for enthusiasts! A chance to check out the Wayne Estes Basketball Tournament in Anaconda this Saturday & Sunday, March 25th & 26th! The tournament first made its way to the court in 1984 to pay tribute and honor the late great basketball legend Wayne Estes, a native of Anaconda.

The Southwest A announced it's all-conference and all-state selections for the 2022-23 basketball season and the Butte Central Maroons are aptly represented.

After last year's success, Uptown Hoops is ready to roll again this June in the Mining City with the dates of June 17 and 18 blacked out on the calendar.

The Copperhead (Boys) and Lady Copperhead basketball teams head to the Western Divisional Class B Tourney after placing second at last weekend's District 6B competition. Interestingly enough, they won't have to travel far to play as the tournament will be held in Anaconda beginning this Thursday, February 23rd! Last Thursday, the Lady Heads beat the Deer Lodge Wardens at home 66 to 24 to guarantee them a shot at Western Divisionals. The same scenario applied to the Copperheads (Boys) as they went into overtime this past Saturday in Florence to beat the Falcons 66 to 62. Although Loyola won both the boys' and girls' championship matchups against Anaconda in the Snake Pit this past Saturday afternoon (February 18th), the Copperheads are eager for another attempt at victory leading into divisionals.

The Lady Copperheads came to play tonight tenfold! This evening's 66 to 24 win over the Deer Lodge Lady Wardens in the District 6B Basketball Tournament in Anaconda, earned them a presumed shot at Saturday's championship match-up against the Loyola Breakers...

Class B District Basketball action is underway this evening as the number one ranked Anaconda Lady Copperheads take on the fourth ranked Deer Lodge Lady Wardens at 6 p.m. in the Snake Pit. Missoula will also host district play tonight as the number three ranked Florence Lady Falcons take on the number two ranked Loyola Breakers at 6 p.m. The Lady Copperheads are heading into the tournament with a win last Saturday against Loyola 62-52 in Zoo Town. Although, they fell short last Friday night 33-24 on their home court against Florence, the Anaconda girls are looking to set the tone and dominate tonight.

The Maroon Activities Center will be hopping throughout the rest of the week at the District 12C Boys and Girls Basketball tournament is in full swing. But before we look at this tournament let's look at Class C Basketball as a whole.
