MCA is looking for its sixth consecutive playoff appearance under Robby Robinson and is expanding upon a dominant ground game. MCA's best offensive lineman, Andre Thomas, a first-team all-region player returns to lead the attack. Alvin Jackson and Jojo Wynn are two explosive backs who both ran for over 100 yards in their last outing. Look for FB Richie Austin (214 yards) to play a major role as well. The Bucs have put up 40 and 56 points in two different games already this season. On defense, the Buccaneers lost LB Sequan Stanley, the region co-defensive player of the year. But the front seven is still solid with DL Blake Riley, DL T.J. Jenkins and LB Jacob Caldwell. The Bucs have shutout both Glynn Academy and Long County. McIntosh's only loss of 2009 came in a season opening 1 point defeat at Liberty County. Liberty lost to Washington Co. (#5 in AAA) by 3 last Friday night. It looks like a typical MCA team for a coach who has won three region titles in five years.
