To spark a little competition between the players, the Buccaneer coaches came up with the idea of "The Pancake Player of the Week". Whoever dished out the most pancake blocks on Friday night was treated to a pancake breakfast at Buffalo Jacks.

J.J. loved to eat, but even he couldn't eat as many pancakes as he delivered on his opponents.

Every pancake block J.J. dished out just added to his resume, which ultimately earned him a "Lineman of the Year" selection in the Cross County Conference and a spot on the All-Southwest District Team.

Those honors are nice, but the ultimate recognition came on Wednesday as J.J. was selected First-Team All-Ohio.

Three other Buccaneers were also recognized for their outstanding play.

Jordy Burelison was selected to the second team as a Linebacker. The four-year letterman played six different positions throughout his high school career, finally settling in at Fullback and Linebacker his senior season - where he led the team in rushing yards and tackles.

Logan Hall and Brock Iddings each earned "Special Mention" All-Ohio. Hall was a dominating force at Nose Guard, while Iddings was a game-breaking running back and defensive back. He also held the kicking duties and led the team in scoring.
