BCHS sought to build on the momentum of Saturday as well as get their first wins versus Washington County in over a year when the Golden Hawks came to Cochran Tuesday night. However, the girls lost a close one and the boys were blown out.

Markayla Jenkins scores.


Tesa Taylor and Jalexia Taylor combined for 16 of the team’s 19 first quarter points. Alyssa Fortune had seven in the second as BC led 33-29 at halftime. Waco’s buzzer beater ending the third gave them a 46-43 lead.
