Bitterroot Valley schools have a tremendous amount of talented athletes every year. This year was no different, and a large number of area athletes will play sports in college next year. This is a great accomplishment and opportunity – we wish the best and thank them for all the memories.
By the numbers, Montana Tech had the highest number of Bitterroot signees with seven, followed by Carroll College and the University of Providence with 3 each. 20 of the students are going to Montana schools, while 16 are headed out of state.
