Buena is still kicking itself.

The Bulldogs lost to Arroyo Grande, 31-27, in a Division IV quarterfinal because of two fourth-quarter fumbles and a mistake-prone punting unit.

Buena lined up to punt four times, and Arroyo Grande scored three touchdowns because of its resulting field position.

“We just didn’t deserve to win,” Coach Rick Scott said.
