Buchholz Continues To Impress

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For many years, Buchholz had to play second fiddle to programs across the state of Florida. Not anymore!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The No. 15 Bobcats moved to 5-0 with an impressive home win against previously unbeaten Ocala Vanguard, and in the process began to open some more eyes across the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Uder the direction of first year head coach <strong>Chuck Bell</strong>, this is a program that is indeed very much in the mix among 4S teams after falling short a year ago.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That win over Vanguard was huge because the Knights had held four-time defending state champion and co-national champion Miami Central to just 13 points in the kickoff classic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a year where so many teams are jumping into the spotlight, here is a program that has a chance to remain in that position when the state playoffs begin in the second week of November.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
