Mars eyes revenge vs. South Fayette
ADAMS TWP — There is no easing into conference play for Scott Heinauer's Mars football team.
Fresh off a season-opening 27-14 victory at Hampton last Friday, the Planets will host defending Northwest Nine champion South Fayette on Friday.
The Lions also began 2017 on a high note, defeating Central Valley 20-0 last week.
South Fayette graduated a lot of talent from last season's 10-1 team, but quarterback Drew Saxton is back. He threw for 151 yards and a touchdown in last week's win and tallied nearly 2,400 passing yards and 30 touchdowns as a junior.
The Lions beat out the Planets for the conference crown last year, earning a 35-14 victory over Mars. South Fayette went on to finish 8-0 in conference play, while Mars was second at 7-1.
A full report will appear in the Butler Eagle.
