The Bucs traveled to Deweyville to open district play on Friday, October 5, 2007, against the Pirates. First half play would witness an offensive struggle for the Bucs riddled with mistakes, turnovers, and penalties. The first points of the game would come during the second quarter on an East Chambers run by Tramain Thomas after completing a long pass to Kendall Barrow which set up the touchdown at the 1-yard line. Carlos Trevino would add the extra point with the PAT. Defense would hold strong, denying Deweyville on multiple drives. During the second half, the Bucs would add two scores off of a 10-yard run by Donte Raymond and a 1-yard run by Trey Lambert. Trevino's PATs would add two, making the final score EC 21, Deweyville 0. The Bucs handed the Pirates their first loss on their new home field. Coach Valastro - "We were definitely tested Friday night. Credit Deweyville for their tough, physical play. We made too many mistakes on the offensive side of the ball. Turnovers and missed blocking assignments plagued us all night. On the positive side of things, all the mistakes we made are correctable. Trey Lambert and Jacoby Carrington did a nice job with the offense. Tramain Thomas had 123 yards rushing and one touchdown. Offensive player of the week was awarded to center, Carlos Trevino. Carlos did a nice job blocking on the offensive line and also kicked three extra points. Our defense did a super job all night. Coach Cauthern - "Overall we were very pleased with the defensive effort. The kids did a great job of swarming to the football. We preached all week about being more physical, and I think it showed. The kids are starting to understand the overall concept of the defense and how important it is to take care of your responsibility. Hopefully we can continue to play well and build on this for the rest of district play. Defensive Player of the Game - Tramain Thomas - He did an excellent job of getting us lined up properly and making plays all over the field. His stat sheet is as follows - 8 solo tackles, 5 assisted tackles, 1 Tackle for Loss; 2 Interceptions; 1 Pass Defended.
Paul Trammel made his first
appearance this year on defense
and had an outstanding game also.
It is great to have him back in
the middle; it will really help
our defensive unit. His stats
were as follows - 5 solo tackles;
6 assisted tackles; 3 Tackles for
Loss; 1 Sack."
