  On Tuesday, February 10^th, the Runnin’ Bucs traveled to Kountze to take on the Kountze Lions. The Runnin’ Bucs exploded early as they jumped out to a 26-7 first quarter lead, and never looked back, as they cruised to a 89-50 win. The full court pressure caused numerous turnovers and led to many easy buckets early.

  The Buccaneers were led by terrific shooting performance by Senior #23 Dayvon Wallace with 35 points and 11 rebounds. With this performance Dayvon surpassed the 1000 point landmark in his career. What an accomplishment!

  Also in double digits for the Bucs was Junior #4 Cam Dillard with 18 points and 12 rebounds

  This run runs the Buccaneers record to 26-6 and 10-2.

  The Runnin’ Bucs defeated the Buna Cougars 78 to 56 at home on Saturday, February 14th.

They then exploded as #23 Dayvon Wallace hit six three-pointers in the second quarter. This sent the Bucs to a 42-25 lead and they never looked back.

  Leading scorers for the Buccaneers were #23 Dayvon Wallace with 35, #24 Darius Edmonson with 15, #4 Cam Dillard and #5 Colby West with 10.

  It is the second game in a row that Dayvon has scored 35 points and he was one three-pointer away from tying the school record of 10. What a great effort.
