Following a co-conference championship season in 2024, the Butler Grizzlies will be looking to stay at the top of the KJCCC with a new head coach on the sidelines.

 

Kyle Woodall takes over as the new man in charge of the program, following Bryce Vignery departing for a new position with the Kansas Jayhawks. Woodall says despite the change at head coach, the rest of the staff is pretty similar.

 

Butler had an opportunity to win the KJCCC outright, but had narrow losses to NEO, Snow College, and Coffeyville. Woodall says you can't be successful in this league without a full 60 minutes.

 

Following the season opener, the Grizzlies have back-to-back home games before a trip to Coffeyville. Woodall says it will be important to capitalize on the early season schedule.

 

Butler opens the 2025 season on Saturday against NEO in Miami.
