Tyler Zentner, Football
Ty Zentner was a major factor in Butler’s win over Coffeyville, as he consistently flipped the field as a punter. He punted six times, averaging 41.8 yards per kick, but he put five of those inside 20 with four inside the 10-yard line. Two of those were downed at the 2-yard line. Zentner also made his only field goal attempt from 37 yards and was 1-2 on extra points. The missed kick was blocked.
