Our rich
athletic tradition at Butte College is strongly supported by the
basketball program's success. Outstanding coaches and players
have contributed to this rich heritage.
Bob Lincoln (1970), Tom
Powers (1982), and Jerry Cleek (1993), each led their teams to Golden
Valley Conference crowns. However, our overall success is
due in no small way to John Abell's tenure as the "Wizard of Roadrunner
Country". As Butte College's head coach for 17 years he amassed
an amazing record and accomplishments. Overall his Butte teams
won 329 games and lost only 87! His teams won 14 conference
crowns with an astounding 235-38 league record. In 1975 and
1976 the Roadrunners were California State Champions. Capping
off his illustrious career, Coach Abell, was inducted into the California
Community College Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in
1997.
Our present program has
much to aspire to with this outstanding basketball legacy. |
