Worley Plans Presentations During Stampede Regarding Football Book
Author Dr. Jerry Worley will provide information about his book regarding the 1972 Class A state football championship game between the Wolf Point Wolves and Butte Central Catholic.
Worley will present the program at the Tavern from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on July 10 and at the Wolf Point Elks Lodge from 1 to 3 p.m. on July 11.
Please join us for a mini slice of a larger, colorful account that took place before an electrified throng in Butte on Nov. 11 , 1972. It was the Class A state championship football game between Butte Central Catholic and Wolf Point, 500 miles apart, and exclusively dissimilar. This presentation will juxtapose the personality hodgepodge that made up the Wolf Point Wolves, with their mighty foe — the defending champion Butte Central Maroons.
According to Worley, We will converge on the 1972 Wolf Point community, team, fans and their unexpected experience on the hallowed, dirt and cinder field of Naranche Stadium.
Although a sports story, this presentation will include a hefty dose of tradition, heritage, and human experience. This program will incorporate 12 display boards that include maps of both communities, hooking images of those involved, settlement patterns of the Fort Peck Reservation, a 1960 Fort Peck tribal election ballot, and Catholic parish locations and player addresses of Butte 1972.
