It's called the IRONMAN Competition, and it is the Pinnacle of the offseason for the Panthers. This is to see "where were at, as a team". The 2003 IRONMAN results are posted here.

Menard Eagles beat Buckeye Panthers 56-72
Tuesday night the Buckeye Panthers took on the Menard Eagles in a very anticipated game. The game was well in favor of the Eagles, with a chance that the Panthers could catch up. This didn't happen, ,unfortunately. The crowd roared, the fans screamed and hollered, it was still not enough the motivate the team to win. Toward the end of the game, the Panthers started gaining points, but there wasn't enough time left. The Menard Eagles won the game 56-72.

Buckeye Basketball for 2003 Over
Well after a hard played year, the Buckeye Hish School Basketball Season is almost over. These boys and girls have played many many games, and won many of them. There were losses, but we will not remember them, ,we can't ponder on our mistakes, rather learn from them. This years seniors, Mic Slocum, Brandon Nugent, Cale Haney, Joel Jordon, Devin Prestridge will be gone next year after several years of Basketball Glory. These seniors will be moving on, and a new set of Seniors will take their place. We, the class of 2005, would like to say good luck, and congratulations.

Track and Field

Coach: Ed Newman and Dwayne Floyd

Track and Field is a rather popular sport at our school, and we take pride in our participants. There are several events that are included in the Track and Field activities.

Get the 2003 track schedule here.

Cross Country

Coach: Brad Spier

Cross Country is about the most endurance heavy sport that we have. Running for a long period of time may seem easy, try it, you will soon thing otherwise. Because of this, only the fittest of Buckeyes students are able to participate in the rigorous event.

Powerlifting

Coach: Ed Newman

Pumping iron is not a weekend recreation time for these athletes, it's a part of everyday training. These are among the strongest of Buckeyes students. Many of which in the past have went to state competing in their weight class. Under the guidance of Coach Newman, they go to powerlifting meets on the weekends and compete against other students, that like them, are out to win for their school.

Baseball

Coach: Jimmy McPhate

Baseball is a very popular sport at our school. They train many months in advance to hit the field and win. Baseball is a test of skill, speed, strength, and strategy. With all of this, you must be skilled and coordinated to take part in this fast paced game.

Soccer

Coach: David Nardini

Soccer, is a fast paced game of strategy and skill. At Buckeye we have prided ourselves with our players of this sport. This year we are proud have our Forien Exchange student on our team. He comes from Japan, where soccer is called football and is the national sport.
