Continue ReadingFor many years, Buchholz had to play second fiddle to programs across the state of Florida. Not anymore!
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.
Uder the direction of first year head coach Chuck Bell, this is a program that is indeed very much in the mix among 4S teams after falling short a year ago.
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.
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.
