Rashaad Ward runs for final Gilmer TD against Liberty-Eylau - Aug 27, 2015

The Gilmer Buckeyes outlasted a very athletic Liberty-Eylau Leopards team at Jeff Traylor Stadium in Gilmer to kick off the 2015 Texas high school football season.

Demarco Boyd's 12-yard run for first down yardage on 4th and 1 from his own 49 during Gilmer's final possession allowed the Bux to run out the clock and preserve the 50-45 victory.

It was Coach Matt Turner's debut as head coach. The Buckeyes extended their streaks - 17 wins in a row, 20 wins at home in a row and 14 season opening wins in a row.
Gilmer hosts Pine Tree in its next game on Friday, Sept. 4.

His eternal spirit has now transcended his mortal body, which fought the good fight of faith and finished the course through this troubled world. He has...

How Gilmer came to be known as the Buckeyes

By JOE BLOUNT Long before the birth of Christ the buckeye was known to have medicinal value. The nutlike seed, found abundantly on shrubs here in East Texas, first got its notoriety as a curative agent from the Greco-Roman culture. Their god of medicine was Aesculapian. Even today botanical scientists place the buckeye within the genus Aesculus, recognize it as a member of the horse-chestnut family and are still highly puzzled by its many and varied phytochemicals. “Phyto,” as you may recall from biology, simply means “from plants.” There are a great number of antioxidants and maintenance chemicals found in the buckeye’s pulp. There are also many toxic compounds and several of the substances are downright poisonous. Early Greek docs would skin the buckeye and boil the endosperm, producing a brew that was taken internally. Most often, just as the case may still be today, the cure inevitably turned out to be worse than the disease. So now, we see that the buckeye is poisonous. We also b...
