In the midst of its first winning season since 2007, the Live Oak football team’s run for an undefeated season came to a screeching halt last week against Silver Creek.
One year ago, Mark Butterworth spent most of his time playing tight end for the one-win Acorns, catching three passes. As the starting fullback Friday, Butterworth made the most of his responsibility and opportunity.
When Live Oak hosted Christopher High last season, the Acorns were shorthanded at quarterback as injuries plagued that position. The result wasn’t pretty as the Cougars handed the Acorns a 50-0 drubbing.
Sobrato is five months away from its inaugural season as a member of the Blossom Valley Athletic League Mount Hamilton Division, but the Bulldogs are already enjoying the perks of being an A league football team.
