The Butler Bears will challenge the Eastern Eagles at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Neither Butler nor Eastern posted many points in their last games, so it might be the defenses that decide this one.
Butler is leaving town to face Eastern after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Butler had to suffer through a 47-0 loss at the hands of Male. The Bears haven't had much luck with the Bulldogs recently, as the team's come up short the last six times they've met.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 48-6, which was the final score in Eastern's tilt against Tates Creek on Friday. The Eagles were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 35-6.
Butler was dealt a bruising 42-6 loss at the hands of Eastern when the teams last played back in August of 2023. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Eastern's Zane Wagner, who threw for 223 yards and four touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes. Now that Butler knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
