Butler has two to follow

Butler County Community College made great strides this past season under head coach Mike Bargen. Last season the Grizzlies went 9-21 and this season the Grizzlies improved to 24-9 under Bargen in his second year as a head coach. JucoJunction touched base today with Grizzlies assistant coach Jon Craig on a few sophomores recruitment in this story.

Maurice Colter, (SO) 5-foot-10 (160) from Forestville, MD, has played the point guard position at Butler County Community College the past two seasons.

"Maurice is a tough floor leader that can execute a complex offensive system," said Craig.

Colter averaged 12.3 ppg as a freshman and this past season Maurice chipped in at 10.5 ppg and 3 assists. Colter finished his career at Butler County with 693 career points while playing in 61 games.

"Maurice plays a high level day in and day out," said Craig. Youngstown State and some Division Two schools have contacted Maurice this spring according to coach Craig.

Luke Engelken, (SO) 6-foot-6 from St Joseph, MO, is a faceup four man who transferred into Butler County Community College this past season from Iowa Western Community College.

"Luke had several double-doubles this season and he is a prolific three point shooter," said Craig.

Albany, Southern Utah, UT-Martin, New Hampshire, Centenary, Youngstown State, Pacific and Ohio University have made contact with Luke this spring according to coach Craig.

JucoJunction will keep you posted on this duo this spring when they decide to make a prediction on where they will play there college ball at next season.
