It wasn’t as pretty as the first three, but it counts as win number four nonetheless.
Boyd-Buchanan overcame penalties, turnovers, general sloppiness and eventually visiting Howard Friday night, claiming a 28-18 nondistrict win over the Hustlin’ Tigers.
“We’ve got some work to do, but we’re 4-0 and I like the way we competed against a good, physical team,” Buccaneers coach Grant Reynolds said.
The Bucs, who had moved up to No. 2 in Class 2A this week, had two potential scoring drives halted by interceptions in the first half but found plenty of success on the ground, even with running back John Hale nursing a sore ankle.
Quarterback Jim Cardwell ran for 156 yards and a touchdown and Rance Harden added two rushing TDs in the first half.
