Roy V. Matson was an up and coming center for Englewood until World War II sent him to the Navy from 1941-1944.  When he returned he picked up the hockey stick and was an outstanding player for the Butte Boosters and other area teams in the late 40's.

Patrick Kearney did extensive research on the Butte City Independent League and provided many of the rosters and news story research.  He will be missed.

Pat Kearney was inducted into the GNFA Hall of Fame in 2017 as a valuable semi-pro football historian.
