The rail at West Laurens was a prime viewing spot for many.


Bleckley and West Laurens had met in the regular season the past four years. Friday night, the teams met in a scrimmage in Dexter. It was a chance for coaches to see the young Royals matchup against a Raider team that made it to the second round of state last year.

Landon Grizzard tries to pull down a Raider player.


A one-yard touchdown run on the Raiders second possession gave them a 7-0 lead with 5:55 left. On the Royals next drive, Keyshon Beck had the Royals best play early, making it to the Raider 45. But the next play resulted in a fumble. Torenio Davis would intercept a pass soon after WL took over.

Keyshon Beck had several plays at wingback.


Bleckley though would be unable to capitalize. Another short touchdown run with 11:06 left in the second made it 14-0 Raiders. Still down two scores with 5:05 left in the half, the Royals went for it on fourth and sixth from the Raider 26.

Torenio Davis returns an interception.


Mika Floyd connected with Willie Taylor on a touchdown pass and the lead was cut in half. A Raider touchdown pass with 7:06 left in the third put them ahead two scores. Cazembe Brown had an interception in the quarter to stop a potential Raider drive.

Octavious Williams fights to hold on to the ball.


Both team's JV's played in the fourth, neither team scored. Bleckley opens the regular season August 19 at Clinch County. Kickoff is 7:30 pm.
