Butler Bears win thriller on the road in Warsaw

The Butler Bears was able to move to 7-0 on the season with a win over the Warsaw Wildcats tonight and win their 4th straight Ozark Mountain Conference High School Football Championship. 

The Bears led the contest 18-13 at halftime but Warsaw came out in the 2nd half and had a two score lead late in the 4th quarter.

The Bears was able to score on a touchdown pass from Senior QB Dylan Davidson to Sophomore Jake Chandler to make the score 27-24.

Obituary - Larry Ardell Evenson

It is with great sadness to announce that Larry Ardell Evenson, 70, of Garden City, Mo. passed away on October 1st, 2023, at Cass Regional Medical Center.

Born April 27, 1953, to Raymond and Elaine (Hanson) Evenson, Larry lived his rambunctious young life in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. He attended high school there and went on to further his education at Bemidji State University.

Larry was a strong willed and a stubborn man at times, but he also had a great heart for his family. He was clever and full of knowledge that he gained through all his life experiences: he was a shade tree mechanic, a truck driver, a volunteer firefighter, and a great carpenter. He could break, fix and build anything. He spent many years in the Carpenters Union where he retired from on February 28, 2014, to enjoy his time with his ever-growing family. Larry enjoyed traveling, racing, spending time at the lake and floating down the river.

Larry was preceded in death by his father Raymond Evenson, his mother Elaine Frappier, his sister Linda Carlson, and his nephew Stanley (Buddy) Olson.

Larry is survived by his wife Cathy Evenson of the home, his children Nichole Hetherington and her husband Dale of Warsaw, MO, Nicholas Evenson and his wife Crystal of Lone Jack, Mo, Natalie Sams of Warrensburg, Mo. 9 grandchildren Brooklyn, Taylor, Dawson, Colter, Reese, Garrett, Aubree, Alaina and Dylan. 3 great grandchildren Thatcher, Sawyer and Eli. Neice Sharalynne (Sissy) Happe, nephew Shane Carlson and his beloved dog Poppy.

Larry will be remembered for all that he was to each and everyone of us. He loved his family deeply and will forever be missed dearly.

Funeral Service will be held 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 10, 2023 at Dickey Funeral Home, Harrisonville, Missouri with internment at Clearfork Cemetery, Garden City, Missouri.

Visitation will be held 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 10, 2023 at Dickey Funeral Home.

State Farm student athlete of the week

We are excited to announce this week's Athlete of the Week, Xavier Wisdom! Xavier was nominated by Coach Webb after a great win against Buffalo. Congratulations Xavier, we enjoyed speaking with you!

About Xavier:
Xavier is a junior at Butler High School. He is involved in football and track. We asked Xavier what he believes it takes to become an elite athlete. He told us, "a lot of hard work. It's all about putting in that extra time and giving over what's expected." Xavier's favorite athlete is Christian McCaffrey, a running back for the 49ers. He stated that Christian is just so fun to watch as he is very talented.

•Favorite sport: Football

We wish Xavier and the Butler Bears the best of luck the rest of the season!
