No one will disparage the historic season for Royals football. Elven wins, the most in program history. The first region title for BCHS. However, Friday’s season-ending loss to Callaway in round two is one that will likely sting for a while.

Things got off to a fast start when TJ Mays dashed 63 yards to the endzone in the first minute of the game. Callaway though would return the ensuing kickoff to BC’s 32. With 9:37 left, a one-yard touchdown run tied the game.

Callaway took a 28-7 lead into the dressing room thanks to a 58-yard touchdown pass. Both teams exchanged fumbles toward the end of the half. Another short touchdown run in the third pushed the deficit to 35-7. Late in the quarter, BC got the ball on the Cavalier 48.

Friday's game sponsor was Citizens Bank of Cochran. Matt Fordham, BJ Coody, family, as well as Junior Board member Lexi McHolan are pictured with Touchdown Club President Britt Stewart.

However on fourth and four from the seven, a pass to the endzone was picked off. BC finally scored on a Jahvon Butler three-yard run late in the fourth. The season ended with a 35-14 loss.

The BCHS Competition Cheerleaders were recognized for winning state Friday morning.
