Aviators run over Arrows

VANDALIA – Vandalia-Butler is off to a 2-0 start after beating Tecumseh 37-22 at home Friday night.

Butler gained 362 yards on the ground led by senior Tyler Jones who rushed for 257 yards on 26 carries. This is Jones’ second 250-yard game of the season. Jones says his success is because of the offensive line providing great paths for him to run.

“Those guys work really hard and they earn every bit of what we accomplish out there,” Jones said. “I owe it all to them.”

Ryan and two other students attended a high school football game with me at Vandalia-Butler High School on Sept. 2. Ryan was the photographer that night and got some great shots at what turned out to be a pretty good game. Vandalia-Butler beat Tecumseh 37-22.

Ryan had two assignments. One was to put together a group of four photos that would be used in the next day's newspaper. The next was a group of 12 that would be used in an online photo gallery.

If you want to know more about the game, you can read the story I wrote for the Springfield News-Sun. I do a lot of freelance work for the newspaper.
