Bears get road win tonight against North Platte

The Butler Bears traveled to North Platte to take on the Panthers for their season opener. The Bears talent was on full display for the opening half, as Jake Chandler (Junior) took the opening kick-off to the house to quickly get the Bears on the board.

The Bears would continue to dominate the first half, leading 28-6 at the half. The Panthers came out of the locker room with a new passion and began to drive the ball successfully to make for a competitive second half.

After a hard fought second half, the Bears pulled out a 30-20 victory.

The Bears were lead by Chandler who had 2 INTs, a Kickoff return for a TD, and 63 yards and a TD on 2 receptions. All of this was in the first half for Chandler as he left the game in the second quarter with an injury.

Kellen Long passed for 131 and a score for the Bears while also carrying the ball for 78 yards and a TD. Xavier Wisdom (senior) led the Bears rushing attack with 80 yards on the ground. Lucas Davison gave the Bears a defensive score with a 95 yard pick 6 at the end of the 1st half.

Next week the Bears will be at home against the Sherwood Marksmen.

Obituary - Patricia Ann (Webber) Dyke

Patricia Ann (Webber) Dyke, 87, of Lee’s Summit, MO, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 at her home. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, September 5, 2024 at 11:00 AM at Atkinson Funeral Home in Harrisonville, MO, with the visitation beginning at 10:00 AM. Interment will follow services in Lee's Summit Historical Cemetery in Lee's Summit, MO. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to American Diabetes Association or ASPCA.

Patricia was born in Kansas City, MO, on September 10, 1936, but was raised in Pleasant Hill and Greenwood, MO, by her single mother, Cecil, along with her sister and brother. The family moved to Lee’s Summit for her senior year in high school, where she graduated in 1954 from Lee’s Summit High School. She married James Dyke in 1955, and son, Bradley, and daughter, Heather, arrived a few years later. Patricia attended the First Presbyterian Church of Lee’s Summit, and was employed as a PBX operator at John Knox Village for many years. Until her health declined, she was a member of the League of Women Voters and worked on voter registration drives. Patricia was an outspoken champion of humanitarian causes, and did her best to challenge racism and to support women’s rights. She never faltered in her support of public education. She set a strong moral tone and was fearless in her advocacy.

Patricia’s life was built around her two children, and numerous relatives and friends—and her dogs: she rescued several over the years and gave them a good home. She loved nothing better than to have company, and welcomed everyone to her home. She will be sorely missed by all those who knew her and spent time with her. She was grateful for all the care she received as her health declined. She was steadfast in her faith and was comforted in her final days knowing that she would soon be with her Lord and her husband in the hereafter.

Patricia was preceded in death by her husband, James, in 1998; her mother, Cecil Bradshaw, in 1998; her elder sister, Hester; and her brother, Curtis. She is survived by her son, Bradley, of the home; daughter, Heather, of Cumming, GA; and many extended family members and friends.
