The Blue Devils rolled to a big win Friday night over visiting Butler H.S 35-6.  The game started out with the blue devils at their own 27 yard line but quickly ended after a 20 yard 3 play drive which ended on a lost fumble at their own 47 yd. line.  However, the blue devils held off Butler after the turnover and again put together a strong 16 play drive starting at their own 17 yard line with two 19 yard runs by Valdon Cooper during the drive and a good effort out of RB Trez Haley, who carried the ball 8 times on the drive for 49 yards and scoring the first blue devil touchdown of the night. The Defense then held off Butler who threatened to score on a 15 play drive of their own. However, the Bulldogs went for it on 4^th down at the 10 yard line and came up short where the blue devils took over at their own 7 yard line.  The blue devils moved the ball down the field quickly on 8 plays with pickups of 15, 30, and 12 along the way moving the ball down to the Butler 36 yard line.  Then the blue devils had a long run by Valdon Cooper that took the ball down inside the 10 but it was called back due to a holding call.  After the penalty, the blue devils were out of FG range and were forced to punt which would end up being the only punt of the night (Corder 36 yards) by the blue devils.  The blue devils got the ball back one more time before half where they completed 2 passes but ran out of time. Thus the blue devils went into the locker room up 7-0.

After half the blue devils did not waste much time to pull away from the Bulldogs quickly as DB Austin Jones intercepted a pass on the 3^rd play of the half and returned it 24 yards for a TD where Omar Vargas added the extra point to put the blue devils up 14-0.  Butler then had an 8 play drive but a few tackles in the backfield moved the Butler back to their own 27 yard line where they were forced to punt on 4^th down.   However a high snap sailed over the punters head and into the end zone where it was recovered by DE Eric Crenshaw for another Blue devil touchdown.  Omar Vargas again converted to point after to put the blue devils up 21-0.  The defense then recovered a fumble and the offense went to work at the butler 32 yard line where the devils scored quickly on a 1 yard run by Demarco Freeman to put the blue devils ahead 28-0.   The defense then stopped Butler on downs where the offense took over at the butler 47 yard line where capitalized on a 7 play drive scoring a touchdown on a 15 yard pass from QB Robert Huff to TE Taj Letman to put the blue devils up 35-0 after the point after.  The defense again intercepted a pass, DB Davion Shackleford, at the blue devils own 1 yard line where the offense took over.  However the ball was fumbled on the first play where Butler recovered and then scored 3 plays later to get on the scoreboard. 

Offensively the blue devils accumulated 304 total yards and overall this was again a team effort out of the offense at the devils used an array of backs to carry the ball. Leading the team was Valdon Cooper with 9 carries for 80 yards, Demarco Freeman 10 carries for 62 yards and 1 touchdown, Trez Haley 8 carries for 49 yards and a touchdown, Austin Jones 3 carries for 35 yards, and Fullback DJ Lewis 3 carries for 6 yards who was the key to many of the yards gained on the night.  QB Robert Huff was 3 for 7 passing for 42 yards and a touchdown.  On the receiving end was WR Valdon Cooper with 2 catches for 27 yards and TE Taj Letman with 1 TD catch for 15 yards.  The offensive line (S. Martin, E. Fortson, T. Smith, E. York, K. Umble, T. Huff, C. Yeargin, T. Letman, and K. Rambert ) again had a good night creating running lanes and protecting QB Robert Huff.

Defensively the defense was tested throughout the night and although Butler had several long drives the blue devils were able to create and capitalize on some Butler mistakes throughout the night including 4 fumbles caused (Letman, Blackmon, S. Martin, and Fortson), 2 fumble recoveries (Shackleford and Crenshaw), and 3 interceptions (A.Jones, Shackleford, and B. Allen).  The defense was led by DT Ricky Hamm who had 12 tackles on the night (10 solo and 2 assists); Trey Heard -9 tackles (6 solo 3 assists, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 sack), Taj Letman- 9 tackles ( 4 solo, 5assists, 1 tackle for loss, 1 caused fumble), Bryce Martin-9 tackles(4 solo and 5 assists), Trent Allen-9 tackles (4 solo and 5 assists), and Hunter Blackmon- 8 tackles( 8 assists), Eric Crenshaw- 7 tackles (3 solo, 4 assists, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 sack), Tyshon Dye -6 tackles (4 solo and 2 assists), Seth Martin - 6 tackles (3 solo, 3 assists, 1 sack, 1 caused fumble, and 1 tackle for a loss), and Tyler Mahaffey – 5 tackles( 5 assists). The kicking game was strong again with Vargas(4/4) and Corder(1/1) being perfect on all point after attempts and Andy Corder punting for a 36 yard average on the night.
