From HSOT 

By Joel Bryant, HighSchoolOT reporter

Charlotte, N.C. — Mallard Creek, the No. 1 team in the HSOT West Top 25 Poll, jumped out to a big lead and eventually finished off No. 6 Butler by a score of 33-17. The game was the HighSchoolOT Live Game of the Week, the first ever game from the western part of the state to receive that designation. Mallard Creek was fresh off of a 27-27 tie against South Carolina powerhouse Dutch Fork, while Butler defeated a top-10 team in Hough 21-10 last week.
It didn't take long for the Mavericks to get on the board. Three minutes into the game, quarterback Dustin Noller hit Elijah Metcalf on a hitch route in the end zone. Mallard Creek led 7-0.
After no more scoring plays by either team in the first quarter, Butler responded with a 34-yard field goal by Jordan Moore a couple of minutes into the second frame. That cut the Mallard Creek lead to four.
It took less than a minute for Mallard Creek to respond. Queasean Holmes took a pitch in the backfield and opted to pass the ball to Damonte Furman for a 29-yard touchdown. The Mavericks led 14-3.
Butler fumbled on the ensuing kickoff. It was recovered by Kameron Askew of Mallard Creek.
Noller and Metcalf connected on yet another touchdown pass in the first half with 3:44 left in the second quarter. This time it was a 3-yard touchdown pass. The extra point was blocked, so Mallard Creek only led 20-3.
That advantage held for Mallard Creek into halftime.
A few minutes into the third quarter, Holmes took a handoff going to the left and maneuvered through the Butler defense for a 31-yard touchdown. The score extended the Mallard Creek lead to 27-3.
Mallard Creek reached it's largest advantage of the night thanks to a 54-yard pick-six by Jaidyn Denis. Denis picked off Butler QB Parish Metzger.The extra point was no good. Mallard Creek led 33-3.
The Bulldogs did not go down without a fight. Jamal Worthy of Butler broke into the end zone from a yard out with 4:20 left in the contest. With under a minute to go, Tyrian Moore made a remarkable catch in the back of the end zone for Butler. The extra point was good and gave Butler its 17th point of the night.
Mallard Creek (1-0-1) will travel to Rocky River in Mint Hill next week to try to pick up its second-straight win. Butler will attempt to bounce back on the road at the No. 1 team in the HSOT East Top 25, Richmond County.
