Butler have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They and Central Hardin go head to head on Friday at 7:30 PM in their first playoff matchup of the year. Butler don't have the home-field advantage, but they do enjoy an advantage in the MaxPreps rankings.
Butler came into their this week averaging 39.89 points per game, but Butler fell well short of that average, and it cost them. They took a 6-14 hit to the loss column at the hands of St. Xavier. Butler low-scoring loss was the unsatisfying follow-up to their high-scoring outing the game before.
Meanwhile, it always hard to lose, and it even harder to lose by a single point. Just ask Central Hardin, the unfortunate recipient of a 9-10 defeat at the hands of Ballard last Friday. Things were expected to be close, but in this case the state rankings mixed up the winning team.
With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. Neither squad could put together much of an offensive attack, so expect every point to count.
