| Lane Kitchens knocked the ball away from a Raider player. |
As they’ve done for the past several years, BCHS finished the preseason with a scrimmage against West Laurens. No official score was kept. Special teams play was limited, kickoffs and punts, but no returns.

| Arkenzio Hayes returns an interception. |
Varsity played about two and a half quarters, followed by second string players, then JV players finished up the fourth. Start time was delayed by 30 minutes due to lightning and a light but steady rain fell for much of the night.

| Zach Lassiter drops back to pass. |
Unlike the spring scrimmage against Howard that saw both first team offenses reach the endzone numerous times, defense dominated.

| Nykeem Farrow looks for a hole to run through. |
The Raider first string connected on a touchdown pass with 6:24 left in the first quarter. Bleckley’s offense didn’t cross over midfield until the second on an Arkenzio Hayes interception return. He returned it to the 24 but a penalty post interception moved the ball back to the 36. The drive stalled.

| Luke Duffy signals "touchdown" following Terrance Rozier's catch. |
Late in the first half, West Lauren started on the Royal 39 following a short punt. An apparent touchdown pass was wiped out by a holding penalty. Willie Harris’ quarterback sack further backed up the Raiders, as they would be prevented from scoring. Second string defensive players got a stop in the third, \ending a WL drive at the BC 37. The Raiders tried a 52-yard field goal that fell well short.

| Scooter Slappy cuts upfield. |
Early in the fourth, Dominic Sasser hit a leaping Terrance Rozier in the corner of the endzone for a touchdown. In the JV portion, West Laurens scored but the Royal defense prevented the conversion. The regular season kicks off August 17 against longtime rival Hawkinsville at Bobby Gentry Stadium. Kickoff is 7:30 pm.
