    Tommy Mann Jr|Updated Aug 26, 2016

    The Record The Orangefield Bobcats dominated both sides of the ball all night and shut out the visiting Buna Cougars, 45-0, to open the 2016 football season. Orangefield (1-0) used a opportunistic defense throughout the night as the Bobcats recovered four Cougars fumbles, and then let the offense pick apart the Buna defense for quick scores on its way to the shut out victory.
