Congratulations to Taelyn McCracken and Jace Love for being Butler High School's Athlete of the Week.
Taelyn played a huge role in two TOUGH road wins over Northmont and CJ over the past couple weeks. Stepping into an almost-full time role this year at starting CB, Tae has anchored the defense and significantly limited opponent scoring opportunities. She has been tasked with marking the most threatening striker on each team we've played and, with the support of her teammates, has consistently exceeded expectations. Most importantly, Taelyn is a good teammate, working hard in practice, the film room, and supporting those around her both on and off the field. She contributes positively to the team environment and consistently puts the success of the team above her own. Congratulations Tae, Keep working hard!!

Jace had a great game in week 2 against Stebbins. He ran for 216 yards on 23 carries and scored 3 touchdowns. He also plays defense and made some key plays defensively when it was needed the most. He is a high character student athlete with a great work ethic. He leads from the front as 1 of our 4 captains. Congratulations Jace, Keep working hard!!
