Bears beat RHS 29-7 in season opener
The Butler County Bears took advantage of five Russellville turnovers and 12 Panther penalties to beat RHS 29-7 in the Lewisburg Bank Bowl's opening game Friday at Logan County Cougar Field. The Panther defense did many things well but found itself in terrible starting positions often. In fact, the Bears started inside the RHS 15 yard line on five possessions, often after turnovers. Bright spots on offense for Russellville were the running of freshman Donovan Armstrong and the passing combination of Tutu McKeage and Noah Stovall, who caught half of McKeage's 10 completions. Armstrong had a long run on Russellville's opening possesion of the second half. A Bear defender had to interfere with Stovall to keep him from making a touchdown catch, but Armstrong ran 9 yards for the score. Madden Bloodworth kicked the extra point.
