BUCKEYE (1-4, 1-1): Stars Division action hasn’t started yet, but Buckeye coach Billy Burke is confident his Bucks will repeat as Patriot Athletic Conference champions for the third time in four years. “”There’s never been the threat that they are going to fold the tent,” he said. “We’re better than we were last year. All we can do is work hard and continue to do what we do. We did the same thing last year. We can do it again.”…The Buckeye of old showed up last week against Lutheran West when the Bucks rushed for 391 yards and had 442 yards of total offense.
Burke is expecting much of the same tonight against Wellington. “That’s us,” he said. “That’s what we do. Hopefully it’s second nature for us by now and we can expect 400 yards every time.” … Friday’s win over the Longhorns marked the second time Ryan McCormick and Cory Reisner have gone over 100 yards rushing in the same game (Highland, Week 2). The last time the Bucks had two rushers go over 100 yards in the same game twice in a season was 2006 when Reisner and Jordan did it against Black River and Brookside. LW: W, 34-18 at Lutheran West. TW: at Wellington (1-4, 1-1). NW: Columbia (1-4, 1-1).
