Butte Central and Corvallis split Southwestern A basketball games Saturday.
The BC boys went on the road and won 80-50, while the Corvallis girls won 34-30 at the Maroon Activities Center. The win for Central’s boys secured the Maroons a berth in the Western A Divisional tournament, which is March 6-8 in Whitefish.
The BC girls’ loss likely means Central will host Stevensville in a play-in game on Thursday. The winner of that play-in game will go to Corvallis Saturday for a battle to advance to the divisional tournament.
The Maroons will first close the regular season Tuesday with a doubleheader at Dillon.
