The Buna Cougars made the drop to class 2A last season and found immediate success. They went 4-2 in 24-2A play and made the playoffs for the first time in years. Their season was ended in the Bi-District round at the hands of Newton 42-7 and they finished the year at 7-4. Coach Bradley Morgan expects that success to carry over to 2007 and hopefully will result in a longer playoff run.

Key Wins Last Year:

Hull-Daisetta (34-0)

Deweyville (19-6)

Last Year’s Scores:

Orangefield 28 Buna 7

Buna 44 Burkeville 6

Buna 30 Tarkington 12

Buna 34 Hull-Daisetta 0

Anahuac 26 Buna 14

Buna 49 Kountze 0

Buna 41 Hardin 14

East Chambers 35 Buna 13

Buna 19 Deweyville 6

Buna 28 Warren 7

Newton 42 Buna 7

Offensive Summary

Buna returns 7 starters from an offense that averaged 26 points per game last season. All-District FB Brian Holmes returns after having a great 2006 season. Holmes rushed for 452 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2006. The Buna offensive line should be good this season led by All-District LT Travis Harding, RT Chris Dotson and LG Cody Holland. Also look for QB Justin Carrell to have a productive year in 2007.

Other Offensive Impact Players:

Luke Clark (TE)

Defensive Summary

Last year the Cougars only allowed 16 points per game. They return 5 starters on defense in 2007. All-District OLB Anthony Smith returns to lead the Buna defense after collecting 85 tackles in 2006. DT Dillon Moss will lead a strong Buna defensive line. The key to Buna’s success this year may rest on how the defense plays.

Other Defensive Impact Players:

Blanton Craft (CB)

Buna opens the 2007 season with a road trip at old rival Orangefield in week 0. The Cougars hit the road again in week 1 when they travel to Burkeville to take on the Mustangs. They also have a game with 3A Tarkington and 1A Hull-Daisetta on the non-district schedule. Buna opens 24-2A play on September 28 at home against Anahuac. A game that could weigh heavily on how 24-2A turns out is the matchup in Winnie on October 26 between Buna and district favorite East Chambers. Here is the complete 2007 schedule for the Buna Cougars……
