Two words will recap all that is necessary in the Buc's spring split squad scrimmage game played Friday afternoon at Mainland High. Those two words begin and end with Denzel Houston. This senior to be quarterback did it all. The young man was unstoppable running, passing, playing defensive back, punt and kickoff returns ( NO, NO Coaches to kick returns ). Trust me when I say that in my 50yrs of attending Mainland high football games, we the Bucs, have never had a better player behind the center. Period ! He's smooth, poised, and has great touch on the ball. This young man doesn't get rattled. Add a couple/few new wideouts from the just completed track season and these 2016 Mainland Buccaneer's should put some points on the scoreboard come September. Defense appeared a little small, but extremely quick ( although Denzel burned them on a few occasions ). Next week up and coming Orange City, 7pm Spec Martin Stadium, Deland, should be a better place to evaluate and get an early snap shot of this perennial Florida east coast powerhouse.
PS - I could be mistaken, the old eye sight isn't what it used to be, but the game official positioned throughout the scrimmage mere inches from the middle linebacker sure did resemble Flavarsity favorite striped shirted pit bull JAMBUN. His motor never stopped. He was agile, precise, and efficient. He controlled the uptempo game. No suck up here
