It’s been a frustrating season for BCHS, losing their last three games by a total of eight points. While their streak of close losses ended against Dublin Friday night, their losing streak went to four games.

| It was rec. department night at the game. CBRD players, coaches, and cheerleaders got to run out with the team. |
Dublin scored on their first possession a 43-yard run, with 7:21 left. Aided by a long completion to Tyrek Mack, the Royals were able to answer via DQ Benjamin’s two-yard run with 5:53 left. But the tie score wouldn’t last a minute.
