The Steers were certainly not to be under-rated, but were out-classed by the spirited Bucks who effectively avenged the Steers 7-O victory last year. SNYDER: The Tigers held the Bucks scoreless for the first quarter before the inevitable happened and the Buckaroos ground their way to a 42-13 decision.
