There’s no secret that Boyd-Buchanan has a powerful offense. It’s been that way for years. But it’s powerful defense that stocks trophy cases.
And defense is where this version of the Buccaneers may be most under-appreciated.
Boyd-Buchanan walked off its home turf Friday night with its second straight shutout win, this one 35-0 against East Ridge.
The offensive stars have been lauded for several years – such as Rance Harden, John Hale, Jim Cardwell. But it’s those defenders you may not have heard of – Calvin Conn, Grant Mathis, Malik Brewer – who may help this Bucs team be special.
“We are really playing with a lot of emotion and intensity on defense,” Boyd-Buchanan coach Grant Reynolds said. “We’re getting to the ball quick and making the play when we get there.”
