It’s been 50 years since the Butler Bearettes won the state championship in 1975, and this year, they were honored during the 2025 Girls’ Sweet 16 at Rupp Arena. That 1975 team made history with their incredible talent and teamwork, leaving a legacy that still inspires young athletes today.
Seeing them celebrated in 2025 was a perfect way to connect the past and present of Kentucky girls’ basketball. Let’s give a huge shoutout to these amazing champs for 50 years of greatness!
