Head coach Gary Varner and the Buccaneers football program played its first-ever game last Friday against South Paulding, a 51-0 home loss. The team was able to hold the Spartans to just seven first-quarter points, but gave up four touchdowns in the second quarter. Varner attributed the team’s decline in play to fatigue and lack of depth. South Paulding running back Jared Jeter led the way for the Spartans, as the Bucs were unable to stop him in a 158 all-purpose yard performance. Jeter also scored four touchdowns in the contest.
