Quarterback Danny Naylor was 26-for-37 passing with 371 yards and three touchdowns. Rocky James caught two of Naylor’s touchdown passes and Ray James caught the other. Naylor is third in the GWOC in passing yards with 1,259 yards. TeAndre Adams ran for 79 yards and two touchdowns for the Bucs in the win over the Trojans.
