Bucks "Return" to the Win Column

After a hard fought game looked like it was slipping away from the Bucks...

The score was 14-12 late in the 4th quarter with Swett driving and consuming the clock.  The Bucks' defense made another good stand to prevent the Ram's from getting into the end zone forcing the visiting team to try a field goal and going up 5 points with less than 2 minutes remaining in the game.  The kick was good, score Purnell 17, Hoke 12 with 1:39 left on the clock and in the game.

The ensuing kick-off was returned by the Bucks for the TD and a 18-17 lead.  The Bucks go for 2 and a three point lead with less than 1:27 left in the game.  Bucks 20, Rams 17.

Swett takes the ball from their end of the field and with the help of some penalties by the Bucks get within field goal range for their kicker.  As time runs down the Rams kick is short and wide right.

Bucks Win 20-17 and are tied for third as Pinecrest lost to Richmond.  1-2 in the conference and 2-7 overall.

Next up is Pinecrest.
