2026, The Season the Bucs Turned it Around!

BY “MR. POSITIVE” JEFF MCELVEEN THE DAILY NEWS SPORTS The young men who remained for Coach Dean King and remained for their teammates made the 2026 Bowling Green Buccaneers a story like that of the Phoenix, who victoriously rose from the ashes, and spread its wings! Blind faith in the vision that Coach Dean had for this team is what drove the team this year even as injuries once again set the team back early in the season. Many teams would have collapsed after the early season ending injury to Ryn Rivenbark. Rivenbark is one of the Parish’s top athletes and was valuable to the Bucs on Offense, Defense, as a returner of kicks and punts, and as a punter. With only a few games left on the schedule, the QB, Joel Dupuy, went down with a shoulder injury. I personally know the pain and heartbreak that comes with a season ending injury during one’s Senior Year! It’s cruel. I pray for these young men to continue to overcome these unfortunate injuries.
