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.

My Buckhannon photographer Brian Bergstrom has posted more than 120 high resolution photos from the game here. Note that gallery access requires a premium membership. For a limited time, use coupon code FALLSPORTS2019 to save $15 off your first year.
