BUTTE — Butte High and Dillon split a non-conference doubleheader at the Butte Civic Center on Tuesday evening.
The Class AA Butte High boys fended off two-time defending Class A champion Dillon 47-38 and then the Dillon girls — last season's state runners-up — survived for a 60-57 victory.
WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS:
In the boys game, the Bulldogs led by exactly eight points after the first, second and third quarters and kept the Beavers at bay in the fourth to improve to 2-0. Butte's Hudson Luedtke — who on Saturday set a program record with 43 points against Bozeman — scored a game-high 17 points while sophomore Brady Hanson had 14.
Dillon (1-2) was paced by 13 points from Cohen Hartman and 9 from Will Hansen.
The girls game saw the Bulldogs (1-1) grab a 33-28 halftime lead before Dillon (3-0) pulled ahead late and then saw a tying 3-point attempt in the final seconds of the fourth quarter attempt come up just short.
