Adrian Blackhawks shut out the Butler Bears on homecoming

The Butler Bears football team hit the road this evening to take on the rival Adrian Blackhawks for Adrian’s homecoming. 

The first quarter highlights included a interception by Butler senior Kaleb Mallatt and a blocked punt by Adrian's junior Bryler Ford at the end of the 1st quarter it was scoreless.

Adrian scored three times in the second quarter one by senior Colton Miller, one by senior Mason Rusow, and one by junior Kobe Enos to lead the contest 19-0 at halftime against the Bears.

Adrian slowed the pace down in the 3rd quarter and wore the Butler defense down with rushes by seniors Colten Miller and Brock Ford pushed the lead to 25-0 at the end of the 3rd quarter. 

Blackhawks senior Colton Miller was able to score his 2nd touchdown of the night in the 4th quarter to help Adrian cruise to a 32-0 victory over the bears.

Adrian will move to 4-1 on the season and hit the road next week as they travel to take on the Lincoln Cardinals. Butler is now 2-3 on the season and will also be on the road next week in Cole Camp.
