The East Chambers Buccaneers
hosted the Buna Cougars during
homecoming festivities on
Friday, October 26, 2007. Billed
as the highlight game of the
night between two undefeateds,
it lived up to its billing.
The day started with sibling
introductions and pep rally
atmosphere at the elementary and
ended with a narrow victory and
a homecoming king and queen. |

What many anticipated being a battle
for the potential district title
turned out to be just that. East
Chambers lead the cougars throughout
the entire game, but a 2 touchdown
lead in the fourth quarter would
dwindle down to a quarterback sack
by Justin Devillier to advert a
potentially game-winning, 2-point
conversion for Buna. Final score:
EC 34 Buna 33.
Coach Valastro -"What an
exciting game; two undefeated teams
getting after it. Hats off to Buna;
they played a great game. Congrats
to the Bucs, for finding a way to
pull it out. I was very pleased with
the play of the offensive line.
Carlos Trevino, Arick Hartman,
Scott Penny, Seth Hunt,
Paul Trammell, Dylan
Kramer, Colton Dryden,
Vance McDonald and Daniel
Renner created some nice holes
for our player of the week,
Tramain Thomas. Tramain's
performance on offense was
incredible. He had 188 yards and 4
tds on 23 carries. He also had 5
completions."
Coach Cauthern -"Defensive
Player of the Week is Tramain
Thomas. He had 16 solo
tackles, 2 assists, 1 tackle for
loss, and 2 interceptions.
It was a great performance by
Tramain. He is always at or near
the top of the leading tacklers,
but his performance against Buna
was over the top. He did a great
job of leading us in every
aspect. He made sure we were
lined up correctly and made all
the adjustments in the secondary.
Other players that had a good game
were Paul Trammell with 11
tackles, 5 assists, and 1 tackle
for a loss, Brian Vigers with 3
solo tackles, 3 assists, 1 tackle
for a loss, and 1 caused fumble,
Carlos Trevino had an interception
returned for a touchdown.
We did not play to our capability,
and we know it. I truly expect
all of our defensive players to
play better this coming week and
the remainder of the season. They
know that we did not play as a
team, and it is something that
bothers them. When they are
getting upset about performances
like the one against Buna, you
know you are headed in the right
direction."
