Matt Luedtke, an inductee into the 2023 Ronan Hall of Fame, was recognized as Montana’s “Gatorade Player of the Year” in high school basketball in 2000 following a stellar senior season at Ronan.
It was a tale of two halves Friday night at Legends Stadium where the Flathead Braves lost a hard-fought western AA battle with the Butte Bulldogs 21-7.
The Flathead Braves of 2023 have moved the football capably, second-year coach Caleb Aland noted this week. It’s the last 25 yards or so that have been difficult.
Any football coach will tell you all games are important, but Flathead’s Western AA Conference opener with Missoula Big Sky on Friday has that late-October feel.
