BCHS wrapped up the pre-season Friday night at home with a scrimmage against Wilcox County. Like last week, the varsity played three quarters with younger players in the fourth. Like last week, all kickoffs and punts were fair catches.
While the offense started last week, it was the defense’s time to shine tonight. Leading 3-0 after a short Ford Childers field goal, Wilcox drove deep to the BC 16. An interception by Jahiyan Blackshear ended the drive.
In the second, another Wilcox possession would end in a turnover, this time a fumble recovery. BC would capitalize with a Josh Stanley 21-yard touchdown run.
Later in the second, Wilcox went for it on fourth and sixth from the Royal 20. That ended with a Nykez Farrow interception With the second quarter winding down, Tyrek Mack jumped the route of a pass and returned it 10 yards for a touchdown. BC led 17-0 at halftime.
In the third quarter, BC had their one turnover, a fumble. But the defense held, stopping the Patriots on the Royal 18. Late in the third, Brody Fleming connected on a 39-yard touchdown pass to Octavius Tate. The final varsity score was 23-0.
Fleming finished with two touchdown passes, one of them in the fourth quarter. The defense forced four turnovers, three interceptions and a fumble. The Royals open the regular season August 17 at the Gridiron Classic versus Rutland. Kickoff is 12pm at Fort Valley State.
