BCMS got a pre-season tuneup Saturday as they traveled to Lyons for the Toombs Kickoff Classic. A young Lady Barons squad took the field, super scorer Taylor Craig was amongst several players who moved to high school last year. BC was also without three injured current eighth grade players. They lost to West Laurens 2-0 and lost to JR Trippe 4-0.
A healthy Barons squad won both their games. After a 5-1 win versus Dodge County, Clay Blanton's first half goal with 13 seconds left proved to be the game-winner in a 1-0 win versus JR Trippe. Regular season play begins Tuesday at West Laurens. Girls play at 4 pm with boys to follow.
