[center][b][size=12pt]2011 Record: 9-3 Overall, 7-0 District (District 10-2A-I Champions)[/center]


[size=12pt]Another year of East Chambers football, another year in the Class 2A playoffs.  First year Coach Russ Sutherland guided the Buccaneers to a 9-3 mark and an eye opening perfect district mark in the always tough 10-2A-I.  In 2012, Sutherland and his men face the same tough district, which has been made tougher with addition of Kirbyville after graduating a large senior class which includes the loss of defensive leaders Tyler Reddell and Kirby Johnson.  However, when you return an all-state back amongst your ten returning starters, you are always a contender.

[size=14pt][b][u]2012 Offense[/u][/b][/size]

[size=12pt][b]Offense:  Multiple I/Multiple Spread
Returning starters: 5[/b]

While only five starters return from an East Chambers offense that put up over 429 yards and almost 36 point a game in 2011, a key starter returns.  Senior all state running back Glenn Roberts (217 carries, 2027 yards, 18 receptions, 252 yards, 33 total TDs in 2011) will again lead the charge for the Buccaneers.  He will be getting the ball from junior quarterback Brandon Johnson (1-1, 12 yds in varsity play, 8-0 as a JV starter and will be spelled by senior running backs Coby Collins (37 carries, 213 yd, 6 TD) and Bryant Motl (18 carries, 153 yards).  Look for junior receiver Jarrod Guillory and senior tight end Jase Vanya to be the amongst the top receiver for East Chambers.  Returning senior center Hunter Rising and senior tackle Barrett Franzen (both 10-2A-I honorable mention all district in 2011) will anchor an offensive line which will also include senior guard Carlos Lara and junior guard Caleb Simms.


[size=14pt][b][u]2012 Defense[/u][/b][/size]

[size=12pt][b]Defense: 4-3; 50
Returning starters: 5[/b]

The East Chambers defense which surrendered but 17 points a game in 2011 returns five starters from that squad.  Leading the way up front will be senior defensive Blaine Acevedo (1st team all district).  He will be joined by senior defensive lineman Jared Lezak (honorable mention all district) and junior lineman Nick King.  A very young linebacker corp will need help from this front line and a very strong secondary.  Amongst those who will be counted on to step up are rover Guillory (1st team all district, 71 tackles, 50 solo), junior defensive back Charlie Edwards (2nd team all district) and senior defensive back Cody Martin (3 interceptions in 2011).


[size=14pt][b][u]2012 Special Teams[/u][/b][/size]

Mario Guevara (1st team all district) will return to handle the place kicking duties.  Coby Collins (1st team all district special teams) and Roberts will handle the return duties.


[size=14pt][b][u]2012 Key Games[/u][/b][/size]

East Chambers will open their 2012 season by hosting Orangefield and also have 21-3A members Hamshire-Fannett and Hardin-Jefferson on the schedule.  The Buccaneers travel to Woodville on September 28th to start district play.  October 12th and 19th are a couple of games that Buc fans need to circle as East Chambers travels to Newton on the 12th and Kirbyville on the 19th.  The Bucs also travel to Chambers County rival Anahuac on November 2nd before closing out the regular season at home against Hardin on the 9th.
