Welcome to the internet home of the Buckeye High School Varsity Football team. The Bucks finished 59 years of football with the conclusion of 2011. They finished their 7th season in the Patriot Athletic Conference by posting an 3-7 record and a 3-4 record in Conference play, which was the same record as last season. They now have scored over 1,440 points against the PAC opponents, while giving up 716 in 49 Games and own a 37-12-0 conference record.

This season was the second losing season after posting 7 consecutive winning seasons through 2009. They went 8-3 in 2009, and had gone 51-21-0 over that stretch. They made OHSAA State Playoff appearances in 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2009. Membership in the Patriot Athletic Conference, consisting of ten teams, brought shorter bus rides. Head Coach Billy Burke's record is now 26-25-0 and under him the Bucks have captured a Conference Crown in the PAC during 3 of his 5 seasons at the helm. 

Go Bucks! Buckeye Pride!!

Friday, December 9



The of the Buckeye's football players made the All Gazette team that was announced on Friday, December 9th. Cody Carrow made the 1st Team as a Defensive End and Billy Doerge made 1st Team as a Safety. Getting Honorable Mention on Defense was Kyle Haines at Cornerback.

Cody was a three year starter for the Bucks and Coach Burke said of him "If you've ever heard the song 'Warrior' that's exactly him. He's been a Warrior the last four years. I can't believe he's finally graduating." On Doerge Cloverleaf Head Coach Doug Haas commented "I thought he was the straw that stirred the drink, so to speak. He was very durable and he was a very formidible guy for us. We schemed against him from a defensive standpoint".

Congratulations to Cody, Billy and Kyle on their 'Gazette' honors!

A face familiar to many people at Buckeye adorns the 2011 Media Guide for Mt. Union. Purple Raiders senior defensive back, and 2007 Buckeye grad, Chaz Jordan is on of the players pictured. Jordan has been a fixture in the defensive backfield since his freshman season in 2008 and picked up a ring that same season as Mt. Union posted it's 10th Division III National Championship. They have been the runnerup in that game the last 2 seasons. Jordan has played in every game of his college career, and has started every game since the beginning of his Junior year. He averages over 50 tackles a season. He was 1st team All-Ohio Athletic Conference in 2010 along with being 3rd team All-North Region.

The Purple Raiders are 3-0 over all and 2-0 in their conference as they prepare to visit Ada, Ohio this Saturday to take on Ohio Northern. Picture above are Jordan (#20) and Senior receiver and former Medina Bee, A.J. Claycomb as they prepare to lead the team to field in a recent game.

The Ohio Helmet project is a site that is trying to create and post the helmet graphics of all 711 high schools in the state of Ohio. We submitted the Bucks helmet pictures in 2002 and an actual decal in 2006.  That gave the helmet graphic a cleaner look and larger size, it is also used on stat and record pages. Thanks go out to Kevin Dudley, the man behind the project, who has been working hard on this site. It is interesting to look through so surf by and check out. We have also helped out by submitting Wellington, Highland, Avon, and Vermilion helmet pictures. The Patriot Athletic Conference has been created on the site, so take a look to see what type of protective headwear all the other teams in the state are wearing by clicking on their link!
