2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS

BUNA COUGARS

2019 Record: 6-5 Overall, 4-3 District

4th Place in District 12-3A-II

 

In 2019, the Buna Cougars remained a model of consistency as Bradley Morgan's Cougars made the playoffs for the sixth year in a row.  The Cougars look primed to extend that streak to seven as seven offensive starters and nine defensive starters return.

 

COACHING

Head Coach: Bradley Morgan

Assistant Coaches: Kevin Terrier (Offensive Coordinator), Cris Stump (Defensive Coordinator), Kyle Clark (Special Teams Coordinator/Receivers), Jacob Dodson (Offensive Line), Bobby Woodard (Defensive Line)

 

OFFENSE

Seven starters return to the Buna Wing-T/Slot T offense in 2020.  Returning to guide the offense will be junior quarterback Dylan Graffagnino (2nd team all-district).  Junior running back Logan Moss will line up in the backfield with senior fullback Jake Menard (1st team running back) and senior slot back Ashton Alexander.  Senior tight end will not only provide blocking for the Cougar running attack, he will also figure in Buna's passing game.  Joining him on the line will be senior tackle Joel Sitton (1st team all-district), sophomore center Trace Marks (2nd team all-district) and senior guards Connor Ellison and Michael Jackson.

 

DEFENSE

Nine starters return to the Buna 50 defense.  Senior nose guard Mark Davis will be flanked by Sitton and senior lineman Kristian Johnson.  Junior outside linebacker Colt Kibodeaux (2nd team all-district) and sophomore inside linebacker Kale Knox (2nd team all-district) will be joined by junior linebacker Tyler Milstead.  Junior cornerback Logan Moss (1st team all-district) and senior safety Connor Stump will team with Alexander, also at safety, to patrol the Cougar secondary.

 

SPECIAL TEAMS

While kicking and return duties will be finalized during fall practice, Graffagnino will handle the punting.
