The Butler County Bears loaded the buses and headed to Union County on Friday night.  With the combination of a two hour road trip and the beginning of Fall Break the Butler County crowd was a little smaller than normal.  Fans may not of showed up for the game, several listened to the game on BTR 1570 AM WLBQ,  but the Bears did as they won 33-0.

The editor of which I speak is John Embry. John graces these pages with his own writings from time to time, but will be the first to tell you that he won’t write when he doesn’t feel it, isn’t in the mood, doesn’t have time, or just doesn’t have anything to say.
