BUIES CREEK, N.C. -- De'Shawn Jones capped off a 174 yard two touchdown rushing day with a 25-yard sprint on the first play of overtime, as Campbell knocked off Butler in the Pioneer Football League opener for both teams Saturday night at Barker-Lane Stadium.  

Butler (2-2, 0-1) had the first possession of overtime but was unsuccessful on a fourth-and-17.  The Bulldogs were kicking themselves, literally, after Drew Bevelhimer missed a 50-yard game winning field goal attempt at the end of regulation.  

Jared Joyner also rushed for two scores, helping Campbell (3-1, 1-9) racked up 248 yards on the ground. The Camels had leads of 20-10 (halftime), and 27-20 (fourth quarter), before Butler Sam Shrader connected with Malcolm Weaver on a 3-yard touchdown pass to tie the score at 27.
