The young Bears basketball team traveled to Kansas over the weekend and put together an impressive showing, dominating in early action and playing in yet another championship game.

Butler opened tournament play with a commanding 32–5 victory over Mo-Kan in the opening round, setting the tone with strong defense and efficient scoring. The Bears followed that performance with an even more decisive win in Game 2, rolling past Livin-The-Dream by a 64–6 margin to advance to the championship game.

In the title matchup, the Bears battled the Giants in a tightly contested game but came up just short, falling 21–17. Despite the loss, Butler’s run through the tournament showcased the team’s growth, effort, and competitive edge.

The weekend marked another second-place finish for the young Bears.
