BUCKHANNON — The Buckhannon-Upshur High School soccer Buccaneers placed two players on the 2018 Big 10 All-Conference squad announced this weekend.

Ryan Hurst and Lane Tenney were each named to the second team. Hurst was B-U’s leading scorer as a constant threat up front, while Tenney controlled the flow of the game from his spot in the midfield. Both players are just sophomores.
