First-year lettermen from the 2001 Butte High Bulldog football team are set to join the Butte High Silver B’s football organization this Friday.

The 87th Annual Meeting and Induction Ceremony (1940 – 2026) will take place Friday at the Butte High School Gymnasium with doors opening at 4 p.m. The meeting and dinner will start promptly at 5 p.m. All Silver (25-years), Golden (50-years), Platinum (65-years) and Diamond B (75-years) members are invited.

The first-year letter winners from the 2001 football team will be eligible for their Silver B for the first time. The 1976 squad will be inducted as Golden B’s. A new class of Platinum B’s from the following squads, 1952 to 1961, will also be inducted, and the 1951 squad will be inducted as Diamond B’s.

It is a members-only meeting. No guests or alcohol will be permitted. The group will then make its way to Naranche Memorial Stadium to cheer on the 2026 version of the Butte High Bulldogs football team as they play host to the Missoula Big Sky Eagles. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

Banquet tickets are $25 per person, and annual dues are $10 per person. At this late date, members who haven’t registered or paid are asked to please just check-in and pay at the door.

Members participating in the banquet and pre-game ceremonies are encouraged to wear their Silver, Golden, Platinum, or Diamond B Cap. Butte High Silver B Historian Scott Paffhausen can be reached at (406) 490-9956 or hist@buttehighsilverbs.com if you have any questions.
