Offence leads Bucs to dominating win over Stars

The Central Alberta Buccaneers kicked off against the St. Albert Stars on Lacombe’s MEGlobal Athletic Park on Saturday, June 11.

The 2-0 Bucs hoped to continue their winning streak while the 0-1 Stars were looking to get back to .500.

Unfortunately, for the Stars, it appeared all three sides of the Bucs team showed up to play (rather than just the offence, which was the case in the prior two games). The defence was tenacious, blanking the Stars until late in the fourth quarter when Special Teams saw the Bucs pinning the Stars deep within their own territory on numerous occasions. The pirate offence was as potent as ever, putting up 35 points in the first half alone.

The final score was 41-8, Bucs.

The, now, 3-0 Bucs will travel to Lloydminster this coming Saturday to face the Vandals, 2-0, while the Stars return home to host the Edmonton Raiders, 2-1. Game times are at 3 and 4 p.m., respectively.
