Close loss for Jr. High Bears
Butler Bears vs Sherwood Marksmen Jr High Football Summary- Sept. 17th
On Monday, Sept 17, the Butler Bears junior high football team hosted the Sherwood Marksmen for their second game of the season. The Bears lost a tough game by a final score of 12-14. On a 4th down play in their opening drive of the game, the Marksmen found the edge for a 40 yard touchdown run in the open field. The Bears defense held out the Marksmen on the following PAT attempt, though. The Bear offense had a strong game this week, giving the Bears a chance to win the game up to the last moment. RB Dylan Morris scored the Bears first touchdown on a 20 yard run in the second half. The Bears failed to convert the PAT, leaving the game at 6-6. With a tie game late in the fourth quarter, the Bear offense fumbled the ball on their own 35 yard line. The Bear defense then allowed a costly last-minute touchdown on a 4th down, 30 yard pass play. The Marksmen converted their PAT for the 14-6 lead with little over a minute remaining. QB Devon Page led the Bears on a frantic offensive drive in the final minute. Led by a 20 yard reception by WR Brody Kauffman followed by a 16 yard run from RB Tanner Diehl, the Bears reached the endzone with only 20 seconds left in the game, bringing the score to 12-14. The Bears 2 point conversion attempt was stopped just short of the goal line, though, sealing the Marksmen victory.
Offensively, RB Tanner Diehl had a strong rushing attack for the Bears, averaging 9 yards per carry for a total of 72 yards on 8 carries. Defensively, LB Ben Holt led the Bears with 11 tackles, 7 solo and 4 assisted. DB Peyton Shearer also had an interception with a 20 yard return for the Bears.
