As always, these writeups below will shoutout someone or a team that stood out from the race. That may not be the best runner or the winning team. Perhaps a team that surprised, a runner breaking through, or a runner contributing to a team victory. Of course, if you come to me nicely and want to brag about a fellow team/competitor/teammate, let me know, and I’ll try to give them love further down the line.
MAKING HISTORY
Jimmy Carter was president, a gallon of gas was $0.62, the Lions had zero playoff wins. The year was 1977 and that was the last time that the Buchanan boys had won the Berrien County Championship. Until yesterday. The 13th ranked Bucks have been getting it done with their top-5 packing up, usually in the range of 45 second difference between their first and final scorer. They cut it down to 26 seconds on Saturday, occupying spots between 11th and 17th, just low enough to clinch the team title.
