After playing in the rain in Sandersville, BCHS was back at Royal Stadium to celebrate Homecoming versus East Laurens. It was their first meeting with the Falcons in five years.

Corez Walters would break free to score.


Willie Taylor returned the opening kickoff 39 yard's to Bleckley's 49. Corez Walters capped the drive on a nine-yard touchdown run with 7:54 left. EL would take their first possession and drive down the field. It was capped on a one-yard touchdown run with 4:09 left, tying the score.

Kevontez Farrow helped finish off the tackle.


Taylor would get loose on the next possession, going 38 yards as the Royals retook the lead. In the second, the Falcons got a safety after the ball went over the punter's head and it was kicked out of the end zone. They got the ball back on the free kick and took advantage.

Octavious Williams kept a Falcon player from scoring with this tackle.


A nine-yard touchdown run with 6:16 left in the half put them back on top 16-14. As time was winding down, EL converted a fourth and 3 from the BC 23. But they were stopped on the nine as the half ended. Taylor got free again in the third, going 61 yards to the Falcon 20. Nykeem Farrow's 18-yard run put the Royals back on top.

Dawson Mitchum makes a tackle.


A two-point conversion failed but Bleckley led 20-16 with 4:47 left in the third. EL though would again answer, and kept their drive alive via a defensive offsides penalty when they were fourth and 3 on the BC 13. Facing another fourth down early in the fourth, EL went for it again.

Landon Grizzard left the game in the second half with an injury.


On fourth and 3 from the Royal 3, they got another touchdown run, pulling ahead 23-20. Alan Rogers returned the ensuing kickoff to 31 yards to the Falcon 36. The drive stayed alive after converting a fourth and 1 from the Falcon 31. Farrow's second touchdown run with 6:38 left put Bleckley back on top.

Nykeem Farrow scored what proved to be the game winning touchdown.


The PAT was faked, Justin Rozier scored making it 28-23. Torenio Davis picked off a Falcon pass on their next possession. Starting at their 40, BC made it to the Falcon 20 but was stopped on fourth and seven. East Laurens took over but all four passes were incomplete as the Royals won 28-23.

Justin Rozier was untouched scoring the two-point conversion.


Taylor went for 117 yards on eight carries. He also had 60 return yards. Farrow had 84 yards on 12 carries. Their 201 combined accounted for much of BC's 289 total rushing yards. After giving up 165 to the Falcons in the first half. Bleckley held the Falcons to 59 yards in the second half.

Torenio Davis returned this interception to the BC 40.
