The Butler Bears made a statement Friday night, steamrolling the Versailles Tigers 68–6 in front of a fired-up hometown crowd. The win marked Butler’s second straight victory, pushing their record to 2–1 on the young season.
Butler’s offense fired on all cylinders, piling up points in bunches, while the defense forced multiple turnovers to keep Versailles out of rhythm all night. The lopsided score allowed the Bears to showcase both their depth and development as younger players saw significant playing time in the second half.
Head Coach Greg Webb praised his team’s effort and growth after the game.
“After a lot of hard work—it was good to see our kids get some affirmation on the things we’re doing,” Webb told Tailgate TV. “I thought our younger kids got better, and our offensive line showed substantial progress in the win. Lucas Davidson played well on both sides of the ball, and Jake Chandler and Bryson Kash all had nice games. Good to see our younger kids get substantial time in the blowout. Easton Woolace showed we do have a kicking game, making several impressive extra points.”
The Bears now turn their focus to a road trip against undefeated St. Mary’s Academy (Kan.) in St. Mary’s, Kansas. The matchup will be Butler’s toughest test yet as they look to carry momentum from back-to-back dominant wins.
