Beaverhead County High Opens Basketball Amid Fresh Face
Beaverhead County High School starts the basketball season with many inexperienced players joining a largely retooled lineup. Johnson and Westad are the only two returning veterans with two years of experience, joined by Brown and Burt from last year.

The Beaverhead schedule will include Anaconda High, Butte Central, Butte High, Helena High and other opponents, with season tickets on sale once the schedule is finalized.
