The Buccaneers were as impressive as a team could be, winning a district championship. In the 300-meter hurdles, alone, each of their four participants advanced with the Top 4 places. Despite the boys blowing out their competition by 74 points, the Lady Bucs led coach Terry Anthony to say this.
“I’ve been coaching football at Mainland for 20 years, including the year we won a championship, but the feeling I got for these girls the other day was better than any feeling I ever had for any of my teams.”

“I’ve been coaching football at Mainland for 20 years, including the year we won a championship,” he said, “but the feeling I got for these girls the other day was better than any feeling I ever had for any of my teams. These girls have worked so hard, and they did what I asked. Our recipe for success has really paid off.” The girls’ runner-up finish was their best ever, according to Anthony.
On the boys’ side, Demarcus Adams led Mainland with wins in four events, and Adrian Killins set a personal record in the 100-meter dash with 10.49.
“We got a lot of kids who bought into what we’re doing this year,” Anthony said. “Usually I have a lot of older kids who are set in their ways, but, I got so many younger kids now, and they have great examples in Adrian Killins and Alex Mack, who are my four-year lettermen. They are their responsible for this. They’ve set the groundwork, and now the young kids are all trying to be like them.”
Killins and Mack hope to lead the Bucs past the regional meet, which will take place at 9 a.m. Friday, April 29, at First Academy.
