5A #6 Fern Creek 6A Butler

[JDEaston]

Fern Creek got things back on track last week posting a 55-10 win over 3A Moore after losing the prior week to 6A top ten team DuPont Manual 14-0. Butler is not a team to be overlooked, can the Tigers of Fern Creek keep things on track?

I am VERY curious to see how this game plays out. I saw Butler in week two. They are really athletic - big and fast - with quality skill position players. However, from what I heard they are also very young. I would look for them to give Fern Creek all they can handle, and even perhaps pull off the upset.

Agree DDad, I think this one shapes up to go either way. Who steps up to get a big win?

Fern Creek rebounded well after the Manual loss. Devon Blincoe RB carried 20 times for 184 yards and a TD. Kyree Hawkins was everywhere with 6 carries for 101 yards and a TD, 3 catches for 133 yards and 3 TD, as well as 5 tackles, 2 tackles for loss. Dewayne Flournoy had 8 tackles, and 2 pick six interceptions of 60 and 93 yards.

This one will be interesting last year Fern Creek won 38-6, but Butler had won the previous two meetings in 2013-14, including a 2nd round playoff win 10-0 in 2014.
