In the first hour of Nuanez Now, Colter Nuanez is joined by Montana Tech women’s basketball head coach Jeff Graham along with Butte native Brooke Badovinac. Badovinac scored 21 points and knocked down the go-ahead three-pointer that lifted the Orediggers past Dakota State, securing Montana Tech’s first Frontier Conference title since 1983. Graham and Badovinac break down the historic win, the key moments that defined the game, and what the championship means for the program and the Butte community.
Later, Geoff Safford delivers this week’s Class C Spotlight with an interview featuring Manhattan Christian boys head coach Layne Glaus. Glaus discusses his team’s impressive 20–4 season and their eighth straight divisional title, while sharing insight into the culture and consistency that has kept the Eagles among the top programs in Class C year after year.
To wrap up the hour, Colter runs through the latest prep scoreboard, highlighting results from high school basketball games across the state as teams battle for postseason positioning.
