plays in the red zone Friday. Bobby Buchys is a tremendous student and Student Council leader in the high school. This is his first year as a starter on defense after playing tight end only as a junior. He moved from defensive end to defensive tackle during summer camp and has steadily improved on defense every week. This is Sean Smith’s first year playing defensive line.
