Three former Titans play in Cleverley All-Star Game
BUTTE – It was a night of all-star football as three former Flint Creek Titans took part in the annual Bob Cleverley classic.
Graduated seniors Colby Manley, Luke Holland and Kane Hess represented the two-time, defending state champion Flint Creek Titans Saturday night at the 36th annual game that took place at Alumni Field on the campus of Montana Tech. The three, along with Titan Head Coach Mike Cutler who acted as a defensive coach, were members of the Blue Squad that finished the night with a 32-7 win over the Red.
Manley finished the game gaining 20 yards on seven carries, while Hess collected four yards on one attempt. All three were instrumental on defense as they had been during their career with Flint Creek.
