New-look SV opens season on road
The second Ron Butschle era at Seneca Valley will officially get underway Friday night.
The Raiders travel to Peters Township for a non-conference game that will kick off at 7:30 p.m.
Butschle's first run as Raiders head coach lasted five seasons (2004-08). His squad prepped for 2017 in scrimmages against New Castle and Blackhawk.
Sophomore quarterback Gabe Lawson will make his first career start against the Indians after limited playing time as a freshman.
Peters Township opened the season last week with a 45-13 win against Chartiers Valley.
Indians coach T.J. Plack is hoping for better results defensively from last year's 48-24 loss to SV at NexTier Stadium. In that contest, the Raiders scored six touchdowns in the first half. However, most of the playmakers from that game are now in college.
A full report will appear in the Butler Eagle.
