The Butte Central Maroons have announced their sports schedule for the upcoming week and will be hoping for a bit of cooperation from Mother Nature as things get underway this afternoon with softball at home and baseball on the road.

Butte Central has released their weekly activities schedule and are looking to finally see some action on the diamonds after cancellations and postponements have dominated the early part of the season.

Butte Central certainly hopes so as they have home contests scheduled for baseball and softball while the track and field teams have meets scheduled in the Mining City as well as Missoula.

Surrounded by family, coaches, teammates and classmates, Butte Central's Dougie Peoples officially signed his letter of intent to continue his basketball career at the College of Idaho, the defending NAIA National Champions.
