Tocher Lee is a Butte High Bulldog fan favorite in four sports.

That is because Lee has a long history of coming through in the clutch. His big-time performances include hitting that 3-pointer to give Butte High a win over Kalispell Glacier that booked a Bulldogs trip to the Class AA State boys’ tournament last season at the Butte Civic Center.

Unfortunately, Lee suffered a toe injury that required surgery early in this football seasons — his senior season. Lee could only watch as Butte High won a playoff game and then gave Glacier a run for its money in the quarterfinals a couple of weeks ago in Kalispell.

Lee’s football career, though, is likely not over. He is mulling a scholarship offer from Montana Tech to play for the Orediggers. There is still time for bigger schools like Montana and Montana State to get into the mix. They will, too, if they know what they’re doing.

Of course, Bulldog fans would be happy to have the chance to see Tocher play week after week in the Mining City, so many are hoping he picks the Orediggers.

Tocher will likely miss the December portion of Butte High’s basketball schedule. He is eying a return to the lineup in time for the Bulldogs to take on Butte Central Jan. 4 at the Civic Center.

He is also looking forward to helping Butte High make a run at its first State title in basketball since 1984. He is looking forward to helping the Bulldogs win a state crown in baseball, too.

Oh, and he runs track for Butte High, too.

Listen in to this podcast to hear Tocher talk about his shot to send the Bulldogs to State last season. Listen in as he talks about missing most of his senior football season to injury.
