It was an emotional season for the BCHS competition squad. There was the thrill of winning grand champion at the West Laurens Raider Rumble. Stress due to multiple injuries suffered. Disappointment over the performance at region followed by a thrilling third place finish at sectionals. It culminated with a top six finish in the finals, the best since 2008.

Head coach Heather Davis said she saw improvement from everyone on the squad, all showed a desire to get better in some fashion as the season went along. It made deciding some of the awards difficult for her and assistant coach Chara Nobles.

Position award winners White, Stokes, Brown, Miller.


After varsity certificates were handed out, the first award was the Scholar Athlete for those who had a 90 or better cumulative GPA.

Next were stunt group position awards. White was Best Main Base. Stokes, best Side Base. Brown was Best Backspot, and Miller Best Flyer. Kirkland was named MVP, the first time a freshman won under Davis.

Freshmen also won the “Royal Award,” created by Davis for girls who exemplified “what it means to be a Royal.” Kirkland, Johnson, Alexis Johnson, Mathis, and Chambers were recipients. The evening ended with gifts exchanged between seniors and coaches and a senior slideshow. Congratulations to all the award winners.
