The BCHS Loyal Royals were loud and cheered on the team throughout.

BCHS returned to the field, looking to keep their slim playoff hopes alive against Dodge County. The Royals would need to win out plus get help in order to clinch the fourth seed. Though the game was close in the first half, Dodge put it out of reach in the third quarter.
