The 2023 playoff bid for the South Winn football team ended in Winthrop Friday night against East Buchanan, 46-3, in the first round of the Class A playoffs.
East Buchanan held South Winn to just 131 total yards with the Buccaneers totaling 395 themselves to take the victory. The Warriors end the season with a 5-4 record.
“We struggled to get in rhythm on offense and played too high at times on defense. East Buchanan played a great game on both sides of the ball and were our toughest opponent all season,” noted Coach Jason Ohrt. “Much like the entire regular season our kids played with tremendous effort and gave it their best. They battled adversity all season long and accomplished multiple team goals this year. Another winning season and getting back to the playoffs are great accomplishments.”
East Buchanan put up touchdowns in each quarter. In the first period it was a 62-yard run that put the home team on the board. Then in the second 14-yard and 2-yard carries put the Buccaneers in the end zone two more times. South Winn managed to get on the board and avoid the shutout with a 29-yard field goal by sophomore Carson Streeter, but that would be it for the Warriors.
In the second half, EB took off on a 60-yard touchdown run, a 5-yard fumble recovery for a score and a 50-yard pass to secure the playoff win.
“I want to take the opportunity to thank all our parents and fans for their support and attendance all year at all our games. I also want to thank all of our managers, volunteers, chain crew, press box workers, statisticians, media specialists and administration for their support this season. We are truly blessed to have these great people in our program/district/community at South Winn,” concluded Coach Ohrt.
