The Battle of the Bypass

Battle of the Bypass

The Burrell Bucs are not messing around, and it's strictly business in Buc Nation.  On September 8, the Burrell Football Team hosted the Valley Vikings  for an absolute football thriller.  This game means so much to the community and both of the school districts.  The crowd was into the game and Student Section was roaring.  The game started out with a dominant first quarter performance by the Bucs Senior Captain, Devin Beattie, who scored a touchdown to get the Bucs on the board. Following the touchdown, the Bucs pinned the Vikings deep in their own territory.  Then BOOM! just like that, Junior Stevie Hasson,  picked off a pass and ran it in for 6, putting the Bucs up 16-0. Going into half time the Bucs had a big lead, but that did not slow them down.  Junior Talan Newcomer stated before going into halftime, "Everyone was hyped up, and we felt that we were in a good position to win the game. My performance was solid in the first half, but I knew I had step it up even harder in the second half to get the W."  Valley got the ball to start the third quarter, and the Bucs stuffed them until all their momentum was gone. The Bucs drove down the field and ate away at the clock and had a fun time doing it.  The offensive line was mashing faces up front.  Senior Captain Tyler Maglisco was having a good game himself, "My body was feeling good after my third quarter touchdown."  Maglisco rushed for 53 yards on 10 carries, and for good measure, paired it with an interception and a sack.  Hasson rushed for 85 yards on 16 carries, and snatched a pick six.  Beattie led the Bucs on the ground with 139 yards on 28 carries.  The Bucs ended their Friday night with a 30-8 dominate victory over long time rivals.
