Buckaroos

The Breckenridge Buckaroos season came to a halt Thursday night with a 34-27 playoff loss to the Brock Eagles.

The Bucks will finish their season with a 4-7 record, placing fourth in their district and securing a playoff spot.

Despite the loss and broken hearts to accompany it, the game was a thrilling one to witness. It included a 21-point comeback by the Bucks in the second half, as well as several big plays from both sides and mistakes to match.

As the Breckenridge Buckaroos prepare for a slate of district games, they stand at 2-3. Here is a recap of the season thus far and what to look forward to.

The Breckenridge Buckaroos suffered a heartbreaking loss in their Homecoming game Friday against the Dublin Lions. In a nail biter that came down to the final seconds, the Bucks lost 22-21. The loss drops them to 2-3, while Dublin is 5-0.

Homecoming week

This week, Breckenridge will celebrate Homecoming with a variety of events and festivities throughout the week. The schools will celebrate with dress-up themes, and have special menu items for lunch. The themes are as followed:

• Monday: Athletes vs. mathletes

• Tuesday: Tourists

• Wednesday: Twins Day

• Thursday: Super heroes

• Friday: Greenout

The Buckaroos continued to struggle on offense Friday, against Brock on the road. 

What looked to be a potential shootout early on settled down, as both teams scored quickly in the first quarter but struggled to find their way across the end zone again in the first half. For the Bucks, it would be the only time they would find the end zone all night.

The Buckaroos could not get out of their own way from the get-go.

In a lackluster performance against the Cisco Loboes that saw the Breckenridge Buckaroos turn the ball over three times, including on each of their first two drives, the Bucks seemed dead in the water from the beginning.

Resurgence was the key to the Buckaroos Friday night’s victory over the Comanche Indians.

The Breckenridge Buckaroos were able to right the ship and score 14 unanswered in the second half to win the ball game 14-7. This was all thanks to some late game heroics by quarterback Kevin Franco (5), who completed a deep pass to Aaryn Medina (6) late in the fourth quarter to go up by a touchdown, as well as stout defense throughout the night.
