The Butler County High School football Bears will open its regular season tonight at home against the Russellville Panthers.  Kick-off is set for 7 p.m.  The game was moved from its traditional Friday night due to a shortage of game officials.  

Butler County and peak performance have always gone hand in glove. The last 40 years have seen over a million Corvettes roll off the line at Bowling Green Assembly. Holley Performance's engine control units can be found under the hood of racing machines from NHRA Pro Stock drag cars to NASCAR trucks. We're no slouches in the field of human performance either.

The Butler Co. High School Bears 2022 Football program has worked in the off-season since January; the behind-the-scenes work never ends. Countless hours of weight-room workouts are now seven months complete. A stronger athlete is a better athlete; to put a young man on the football field at the high school level without a foundational weight program is all but obsolete.

The 2022 BCHS Bears Football preseason workouts are underway daily as scrimmages and the regular season are quickly approaching.
