Despite seeing their season shortened and repeatedly interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, eight members of the Butte Central football team received all-conference honors.

The Western A All-Conference and All-State selections were released to the media today, and Bryan Holland, Eric Hart, Dougie Peoples, Eyston Lakkala, Egan Lester, Ian Williams, Luke Garrison and Konnor Pochervina all got the call. (Western A All-Conference; Western A All-State)
