EL DORADO — As has become a habit in Region VI championship games, Butler used a potent offense and a stifling defense to withstand a Hutchinson challenge for a 40-21 victory Sunday at Galen Blackmore Stadium for its eighth title in the past 10 years.
John Brown scored five touchdowns — three receiving and two rushing — to lead No. 9 Pittsburg State to a 51-28 win over Missouri Southern as the Gorillas clinched their first MIAA title since 2004 on Saturday in Pittsburg. Washburn's loss to Central Missouri meant Pittsburg State wouldn't have to share the title with the Ichabods.
The poll-watching ended for No. 3 Butler Community College on Saturday night.
