The Buckaroo’s 8-3 season ends after a 47-7 loss to the Panthers in the bi-district playoff at Ponder High School. The Buckaroos were riding high as they entered the district schedule in October. After winning fivestraight games, the Buckaroos opened the district schedule with a 42-0 win against the Hawks at Iowa Park.
