Last season at West Charlotte, the Lions’ offense under Littlejohn’s watch averaged 32 points per game and scored over 40 five separate occasions.
Now Littlejohn will take over a Butler team that was snakebitten throughout the course of the 2025 North Carolina high school football season, but remains one of the state’s better programs. Butler is only a couple years remove from the 2022-23 stretch where the Bulldogs won a total of 22 games.
With several key starters slated to come back, including 1,000-yard rusher Demaurion Thomas Wright, who went for 1367 yards and 11 scores, Littlejohn will have plenty to work with this upcoming fall.
The Bulldogs ended this past season with a 5-7 record and finishing ranked No. 41 in the final 2025 North Carolina High School Football Massey Rankings.
