More than two years have passed since Dougie Peoples hit that 27-foot, game-winning shot in the Class A State championship game in Missoula.
Yet, Dougie is still very much a celebrity in Montana. You do not need to say his last name for people to know you are talking the Butte Central legend.
Even his teammates at the College of Idaho are still talk about that shot, even if they do it to tease him.
Dougie’s legend just continues to grow. He scored 21 points as the College of Idaho beat Oklahoma Wesleyan University 93-65 in the March 25 NAIA National Championship game in Kansas City. Dougie hit his first five 3-point attempts and scored 17 points in the first half to help the Yotes build a 49-29 lead at the break.
Of course, it is not surprising for us that Dougie came up big in a big game. He has been doing that his entire life.
Listen in as Dougie makes his second appearance on the ButteCast.
