Football on anything besides Friday night for most schools is rare. For BCHS, Monday’s Homecoming game against East Laurens was the first time a regular season contest was played on a Monday. The unusual date came as a result of after effects from Hurricane Michael.

Something else different was the Royals starter at quarterback. Bryce Bailey lined up behind center for the first time since middle school. Zach Lassiter was unavailable due to a concussion suffered against Washington County. Dominic Sasser broke his leg in the same game. Sasser and Lassiter were amongst several Royals dealing with injuries.

Bailey would prove to be a more than capable replacement. His 45-yard pass to DeAndre Pitts on BC’s third possession set the up the offense with a first and goal from the five. Nykeem Farrow ran it in from a yard out.

Raekown Floyd intercepted a ball on the next Falcons possession.
