BRECKENRIDGE — The good news for the Breckenridge Buckaroos is that they bring back several key players from last year’s 1-8 football team. 

The bad news is, the Bucks are still young — quite young, with much of this year’s talent situated in its junior and sophomore classes. 

That means leadership will have to come from players who normally would be a year or two away from such a role. But, as luck would have it, the Buckaroos have a trio of  juniors in Jerry Lawson (RB/LB, Jr.), Anson Rodgers (RB/DB) and Zeke Castillo (WR/DB) who are not only willing to tackle the job, but have already started the process.
