Hands down, this game will be THE game of the week, for ALL football fans! Both 7A, Region 4 teams are coming off big rivalry wins, with the Bucks defeating Hazel Green, 29-16 and the Panthers defeating Grissom, 42-22. Both teams are 1-0 in region play and 2-0 overall. The last match-up was in 2011, with the Bucks winning, 21-13.

While it's acknowledged that ratings can be very unstable for the first 3-4 weeks of the season, here are a couple of unofficial rankings for both teams:

David Wilson has the Panthers ranked 14th in the state (7A) and 3rd in region 4 and the Bucks 16th in the state (7A) and 4th in region 4.

John Wobus has the Bucks ranked 11th in the state (7A) and Huntsville ranked 20th (7A).

The ASWA only lists the top ten teams in each class, and neither team is currently ranked in the top ten in class 7A.

The winning 'Game of the Week' will be featured on the cover of Friday's Press-Register Game Day special section and the results prominently displayed in the Huntsville Times' weekend editions

HAZEL GREEN, Alabama -- In the eighth [sic] Cotton Classic, Buckhorn’s strong rushing attack and solid defense proved to be the difference as the Bucks came away with a 29-16 victory over Hazel Green.

Buckhorn jumped out quickly to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on an 8-yard TD pass from Dalen Morris to tight end Logan Markham. The Trojans would come back and convert a field goal late in the second quarter to get on the board before halftime. No team could find any offensive rhythm with penalties disrupting the flow of the game.

The Bucks would take complete control in the second half featuring the patented ground and pound attack that the Trojans had no answer for. Conner Kistemaker also connected on three second half field goals to help the Bucks (2-0) stay undefeated.

Everett Lanier scored on TD runs of 5 and 3 yards in the second half for the Trojans, but Buckhorn held Hazel Green's passing attack in check limiting Trojans quarterback Cole Guffey to 190 yards on 13 of 32 attempts.

-- Play of the Game: After a Hazel Green TD run that cut the Bucks' lead to 13-10, sophomore running back Will Ignont answered with a 32-yard TD run to spark the Bucks' offense and give them a 19-10 lead.

-- By the numbers: The Bucks have taken eight of the last 10 meetings between the two teams and stopped a two-game losing streak to the Trojans. ... Buckhorn scored on all five of its second-half possessions. ... Hazel Green managed only 60 yards rushing on 27 carries.

-- Game balls: Ignont gets the offensive game ball for the Bucks after rushing for 156 yards on 16 carries. He had 139 yards rushing in the second half. Jordan Barnes gets the defensive game ball as he intercepted two Guffey passes in the second half that ended promising drives by the Trojans.

-- Coachspeak: “I told our club at halftime that we had to clean up some things in the second half if we wanted to win the game. We needed to open up more holes and spread the field so Will (Ignont) would have room to run.” Buckhorn coach David O’Connor said.

-- They Said It: “That first TD gave us momentum and it got us going. We knew our defense could stop them so getting on the board first was huge” Markham said.

“I didn’t hit the whole [sic] hard enough in the first half. I was a little nervous out there. Today was my mom’s birthday so I needed to play well for her. Her birthday kind of ignited me to play better and run harder in the second half. It felt great to get the win for her,” Ignont said.

-- Next week: Buckhorn hosts Huntsville while Hazel Green travels to James Clemens.

Game Captain, Audrey Cagle, was on fire with twenty kills, twenty-four assists and nine digs to lead the Lady Bucks past New Hope, 22-25, 25-16, 25-22, 17-26, and 15-5.

On September 27th at Hazel Green High School, there will be a community wide fundraiser for Rowan Scott. Rowan is a kindergarten student at Riverton Elementary. Rowan has spastic diaplegic cerebral palsy and will be having surgery April 20, 2015. The surgery hopefully will allow her to walk independently one day. All proceed from this event will go directly to the Scott family for medical expenses they will have during this time. Participants and volunteers are appreciated.

Go to www.runningforrowan.com for more information on registering for this event.

As a result of the many generous donations, we have begun construction of the Veterans Memorial Wall. The Memorial Wall will honor all veterans, especially those from the New Market community and Madison County area.

We have received donations totaling over $15,000.00 in cash or material from Buckhorn HighSchool, the Buckhorn High School Class of 2013, Buckhorn JROTC, District 1 Commissioner, Mr. Roger Jones, the Madison County Schools System, Jenkins Brick, Sequatchie Concrete, Alabama Flag & Banner, Clark Memorials & the First Baptist Church of New Market.

We still need your help:
We need an additional $10,000 in short term funding to complete the wall. What’s left to complete is 50% payment ($3,411.00) for the bronze Branch/Service Seals and bronze lettering for the wall & labor to mount them. We will also need $4,915.00 for the labor and materials needed for the beige and red brick pavers that will surround the base of the memorial.

You can help:
Please click the link to access the Veterans Memorial (VM) Donor Form. Please print the form and mail your contribution to Buckhorn H.S. JROTC. With donations of $100.00 or more, we will engrave a red brick paver with your veteran loved one's name and other information you choose to put on the brick paver. These pavers will surround the base of the memorial.

Your donation is tax deductible & we will mail you a receipt. Thank you again for your continued support.

2014-15 Madison County Schools' Testing Schedule, All Grade Levels.

The PSAT: What It Is and Why It Matters!

If there's one moment when the whole "college thing" starts to get very real, it's taking the PSAT. It's the kick-off to college admission testing.

The PSAT Gives You a Preview of the SAT

While the PSAT is not an exact replica of the SAT, it serves as an excellent introduction to the test since questions are similar. Like the SAT, it includes three sections: Critical Reading, Math, and Writing Skills, but the tests are shorter. Your test results will give you an idea of how you will perform on the SAT and feedback about the areas you need to improve. Your scores will not be reported to any colleges.

Where Merit Scholarships Come In

If you are one of the PSAT's 50,000 highest-scoring test takers, you will be considered for a $2,500 National Merit Scholarship. To have a chance of winning the scholarship, semifinalists must keep up their grades in high school, do well on the SAT, write a biographical letter, and submit letters of recommendation.

When and Where to Take the PSAT

BHS sophomores and juniors can register now for the PSAT. The PSAT will be administered at BHS on October 15, 2014. Please contact Mrs. Stephanie Wheeler in the guidance office for questions or more information.

Registration and Cost

Registration is going on now until all slots have been purchased. The cost for the PSAT is $20.00. Fee waivers are available to low-income students. For details, contact Mrs. Stephanie Wheeler in the guidance office.

Preparing for the PSAT

When students register they will be given a booklet that includes sample questions from each section of the test. Additional information and sample questions are available from the College Board website. If you want to invest additional time and money preparing, several commercial PSAT test preparation books and courses are available.

What Your PSAT Scores Mean

Your PSAT scores are usually available after Thanksgiving. The score report includes three scores, ranging from 20 to 80, for each section of the test. To get a rough idea of how you might do on the SAT, add a zero to the end of each of your PSAT scores. For instance, a 52 on the Critical Reading section would translate roughly to a 520 on the same section of the SAT.

Parents, or individuals acting in that capacity, are responsible for seeing that each student under his/her care and control follows school system policy and local school rules and regulations. It is also the responsibility of parents to know such policies, rules and regulations.

Car Riders

Students are NOT allowed to walk to Winchester Road to get in a car after school. ALL cars must pull onto campus to safely pick up car riders. Students who do not follow this rule will be suspended, per Mr. Markham. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe.

Outside Food

Please remember that it is Buckhorn High School's Policy to NOT allow any outside food to be delivered to the school during regular school hours. (This policy does not apply to a 'brown bag' lunch that is prepared at home and brought to school by the student).

Checking Student Out of School

It is Buckhorn High School's policy to NOT allow student check-outs after 3:15 p.m.

Only custodial parent(s) will be allowed to check a student out of school, unless the custodial parent(s) has specifically designated someone else to check the student out of school. School officials will keep accurate records as to whom, what time, and for what reason students are checked out of school. [MCBOE 2014-2015 Code of Conduct, page 21 of 32, Approved July 10, 2014]

Student Publications

The Board of Education authorizes school officials to allow students to have student sponsored publications within the school, and expects the administration to monitor such publications to the extent that disruptions do not result from the contents. Student publications are subject to and will be expected to meet standards associated with responsible journalism. The principal and student publication sponsor are responsible for the content of such publications.

Student publications not approved by the Principal are not allowed, and the Principal shall not allow distribution of publications without prior approval. A certified person shall be appointed to be responsible for supervising student publications, and shall report directly to the Principal in the production of such publications. [Madison County Board of Education 2014-2015 Code of Conduct, page 5 of 32, Approved July 10, 2014]

Media Coverage of School Events

Occasionally local news media visit schools in Madison County to do special reports or follow up on certain news events. As a part of their coverage they often film certain aspects of the school.

It is the principal’s decision whether to allow news media to come into the schools and cover certain events. Extra precautions are taken when the media is covering a sensitive topic or event that might have a negative impact on the school, staff and students.

Parents who have concerns about their child possibly being filmed or photographed by the media should contact the principal. Principals will make every effort to accommodate the wishes of the parent, but it should be understood that it is very difficult to foresee every possible situation that might occur from media coverage of the schools and school events. [Madison County Board of Education 2014-2015 Code of Conduct, page 5 of 32, Approved July 10, 2014]
