Butler gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Saturday. They enjoyed a cozy 32-14 win over the Olympic Trojans. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 14th, while the Trojans are ranked 77th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
DeMaurion Thomas-Wright had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 158 yards and two scores on only 15 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 69 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. The team also got some help courtesy of Donovan Pollard, who rushed for 40 yards and one TD.
Olympic's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Bryce Nixon, who rushed for 75 yards and one touchdown, and Jacoby Harris, who picked up 26 receiving yards and one score.
Looking ahead, Butler will take on Corvian Community at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Olympic, they will face off against Palisades at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
