Preview: St. Xavier vs. Butler
Butler will take on St. Xavier in the second round of the playoffs on Friday. Both teams have allowed few points on average (St. Xavier 13.45, Butler 12), so any points scored will be well earned.
After a disappointing seven points in their last game, St. Xavier made sure to put some points up on the board against Ohio County last week. St. Xavier took the game with ease, bagging a 68-0 victory over Ohio County. That 68-point margin sets a new personal best for St. Xavier on the season.
Meanwhile, Butler earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last Friday. They were the clear victor by a 33-8 margin over Central Hardin. For those of you keeping count, this is Butler's seventh stomp of the season.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 8-3. In St. Xavier's win, sophomore Anthony Woods rushed for 78 yards and 2 touchdowns on 3 carries and senior Anthony Moretti rushed for 66 yards and 2 touchdowns on 6 carries. We'll see if Butler have a strategy for dealing with them or if they lead their team to another successful outing.
