McIntosh County Academy Buccaneers

Summary of last season:

Despite a losing record of 4-7, 2015 was a success for the Buccaneers, who went winless just one year before. The streak ended on a September night in Darien, when Coach Robby Robinson decided to go for a two-point conversion against Vidalia. The go-for-broke play worked and MCA beat the state’s number five team by a single point. Victories over Groves, Long and Bacon gave the Bucs a 4-3 region record and a spot in the state playoffs for the first time since 2012.

What is your outlook for this season?

“Having a full year under our belts with strength and conditioning should make for much improvement,” said Coach Robby Robinson, now in his second stint of running the program at McIntosh County Academy in Darien. The Buccaneers have 16 starters returning from last season’s playoff team, so good things are anticipated. 

What has realignment changed?

McIntosh County Academy will move down a classification this year; they will go from Region 2-AA into Region 3-A Division A with Calvary Day School, Claxton, Portal, Savannah Christian Prep School and Savannah Country Day School. The final game of the regular season will be a play-in game against Division B, which includes teams farther north in the region.

Big games this year:

The Bucs open at home with two big games: First, an old rivalry to start the year against Brantley County. Then, Clinch County comes to Darien followed by a road game against Bryan County and a home game with Jenkins County. Following an off week, MCA will start region play at Savannah Christian and Portal. They come home to play Claxton, before traveling to Savannah to face Calvary Day School. Then, it’s a home game against Savannah Country Day and the region play-in game to help determine power ratings and playoff seedlings.
