Bucs drop another game
The Kingston Bucs football team had a rough game on Friday night, losing 50-21, to the No. 5-ranked Steilacoom Sentinels at North Kitsap stadium. The Bucs offense turned the ball over five times, while creating only three turnovers. The defense put Steilacoom in several third and long situations, but could not hold the Sentinels offense on key downs. Offensively, the Bucs could not gain much momentum until the second half when all 21 points were scored. Most of the damage was done on the ground for the Bucs as Lou Hecker rushed for 140 yards and Travis Schriner rushed for 104 yards.
The final regular season varsity football game between Kingston and North Mason has been moved up to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 6 at North Mason High School.
