Buena’s football team played one of the toughest schedules in Arizona last season and had the second toughest schedule in Southern Arizona.
That schedule was about as tough as the schedule Buena coach Joe Thomas had as he continued his education in the master’s program at the University of Oregon while coaching the Colts and teaching at Buena High School.
Thomas, who begins his eighth season as head coach of the Colts, received his Masters of Science in Educational Leadership Degree on Monday, June 13.
