The Buccaneers - League: Sunshine State - Atlantic North Region
With new coach Will Dettor, Branford looks forward to battling in the new Sunshine State League. Last year the Bucs were 7-4 overall and ranked 7th in the FHSAA Rural League. BHS seniors Colby Beard, Vernon Richards (#3), Sid Deese (#8), Justice Cannon (#21), Jeremiah Townsend (#33), Jesse Norris (#50), Elijah Onuska (#51), David Lopez (#53), Preston Knight (#55), Robert Gabey (#61) and Braedyn Browning (#64) are ready to step up and lead well. The Buccaneers are always excited to face local rivals: Bell (9/4, away), Trenton (10/9, away), and Lafayette (10/23, away), especially when playing at home with the support of their community. May the cannon sound and the fans yell as the Buccaneers elevate to a higher standard.
