BCHS opened their home regular season Friday night against Wilcox County. While the defense dominated last week’s game, the offense showed it could be something special against the Patriots.

| This opening return by Marcus Newson helped set up the first score. |
Marcus Newson returned the opening kickoff to near midfield. He would make the first touchdown catch of the night, a six-yard pass from Kam Everett. With 10:15 left, BC led 7-0.

| Josh Stanley, Jr. scores. |
Wilcox though would quickly answer just a few minutes later on an 80-yard catch and run. With seven minutes left, WC had drawn even. However, it was short-lived thanks to a Josh Stanley, Jr. 16-yard touchdown run with 4:23 remaining.

| A good tackle. |
Everett would strike again, this time on a 69-yard catch and run with Cam Beck. The Royals took a 21-7 lead into the second quarter. Both teams would stop each other on fourth down during the quarter. The Patriots stop came after an apparent Markeze Brown int return was called back due to a block in the back.
