BURTON PANTHERS PLAYING RUNGE IN THEIR SENIORS NIGHT GAME

The Burton Panther Football Team will playing in Snook for the second straight week, but this time they are going to be the home team.

Burton takes on the Runge Yellowjackets.  Earlier in the week, Runge had planned to forfeit the game, because they didn't think they had enough players to fill out the roster.  However, they did reconsider, and the game was back on less than 24 hours later.

The Panthers are 7-0 on the season, and 4-0 in district.  They are currently ranked #2 in the State by Dave Campbell's Texas Football, and #7 in the state by MaxPreps.com. Burton is coming off a 54-12 win over Snook last week.

Runge is 1-6 on the season, and 0-3 in district. The Yellowjackets are coming off of last week's 28-12 loss to Somerville.  After beating Benavides 46-0 in week two, Runge has been on a five game losing streak.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm at Bluejay Stadium in Snook. It is Seniors Night for the Panthers. This year's Burton Football's Senior class will be recognized on the field prior to the game.

Coach Jason Hodde talked about the group of seniors on the team.
