Buchtel kicked off their season on the road on Friday and hit a couple of potholes. They had to suffer through a 30-0 loss at the hands of the Hoover Vikings. While losing is never fun, the Griffins can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 233rd, while the Vikings are ranked 88th).
Even if they lost, Buchtel's defense still kept up the pressure with three sacks. Kylar Wilson was especially locked on to Hoover's QB and sacked him twice.
Among those leading the charge was John Collins, who threw for 156 yards and one touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also punched in one TD on the ground.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Buchtel will take on Harding at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Hoover, they will challenge Medina at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
