Gallery update: Bucs host Fairmont Senior in season opener

The defending AA state champion Fairmont Senior Polar Bears picked up right where they left off last year, scoring 37 unanswered points en route to a 56-14 win over Buckhannon-Upshur High School as the fall football season kicked off Friday.

Quarterback Ryan Strader scored both B-U touchdowns. The Buccaneers will look to bounce back when they head to Ripley this Friday.
