Gallery update: Soccer Bucs roll over Liberty, Brooke

The Buckhannon-Upshur High School soccer squad picked up a pair of high-powered wins recently, beating Liberty 9-1 at home on Thursday and then heading on the road for an 8-0 win at Brooke on Saturday.

The offensive output was spread throughout the squad, with a jaw-dropping 12 B-U players tallying goals in the two-game stretch.

The Bucs are set to return to action Tuesday at Fairmont Senior.
