Football Preview: Butler Aviators vs. Anderson Raptors
The Butler Aviators will square off against the Anderson Raptors at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Butler is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They never let Lima Senior onto the board and left with a 31-0 victory. Given the Aviators' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 136th, while the Spartans are ranked 278th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Anderson). They really took it to Edgewood for the full four quarters, racking up a 78-7 win. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Raptors with their most commanding win of the season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Anderson to victory, but perhaps none more so than Owen Scalf, who threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. What's more, Scalf also racked up three rushing yards, the most he's had since back in September. Another rusher making a difference was Durrell Turner, who rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.
The victory was the fifth in a row for Butler, bringing their record for this year to 9-2. As for Anderson, their win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-0.
