The Boyd Buchanan Buccaneers are rolling with Rivers.
Sophomore quarterback Drew Rivers continued his strong start to the season Friday night, leading the Bucs to a 33-0 home win over Chattanooga Prep. Rivers was 14-for-31 passing for 233 yards and three touchdowns while helping Boyd Buchanan, No. 4 in TSSAA Division II-AA in this week’s Tennessee Sports Writers Association state poll, improve to 2-0.
“Wins are hard to get no matter what,” said Bucs first-year head coach Charles Fant, who called Rivers “an incredible athlete.”
Rivers completed passes to seven receivers. His longest completion came in the second quarter when he rolled left and floated a pass down the sideline, just past a Sentinels defender, into the waiting hands of Kamerin Williams. The junior raced 55 yards to the end zone to make it 13-0 with his third score of the year.
