Scott Paffhausen is not a self-promoter, by any means. He is a man of few words, but he is definitely worth listening to when he speaks.

Paffer is the historian for the Butte High Silver B’s, an organization that is the envy of every high school football program in the state.

He is also the man responsible for plastering the walls around Butte High’s gymnasiums with team photos, trophies and other Bulldog memorabilia. Many grandparents and parents missed the games they went to see because they were so caught up in Paffhausen’s historic work.

That, though, is not why Paffer is a guest on the ButteCast. Sunday will mark the 40th anniversary of Butte High’s last Class AA State basketball championship. Paffhausen was a guard on the Butte High boys’ team that beat Great Falls High 53-50 on St. Patrick’s Day in Missoula.

That win came one week after Butte Central beat Billings Central 76-73 in overtime to win the Class A State crown. 

The Bulldog team will celebrate with a banquet on Saturday night. Then, all but one of the players, some cheerleaders, some coaches and some family members will ride in the St. Patrick’s Day parade on Sunday.

It is going to be such a great weekend, and Paffer is the man responsible for putting it all together.

Listen in as Paffhausen talks about that reunion and the team that made it all possible.
