One of the most jarring, unsettling things that can happen to any cheerleading squad during a competition is to have their music malfunction.  That happpened to the Bleckley County Middle School cheer squad while competing at the Sweet Onion Cheer Classic hosted by Vidalia High School Saturday.  In the middle of their routine, the music just stopped.  However, BC would go on, sticking everything and won first place in the A/AA division.  They return to action October 28 at the Rumble in the Jungle hosted by Swainsboro High School.

The Runnin' Royals girls cross country team won the Bleckley County Invitational held Thursday afternoon.  Austin Perez was fourth individually.  The boys finished fifth.  Garrett Rogers was top individual for BC, finishing third.  Bleckley travels to Sanedersville for the Washington County Invitational October 5.

Saturday was the annual "Clash of the Classes" at the Bleckley County High School cross country course.  It's a unqiue race in which grades would compete against each other (IE: all sophomores in one race.)  Though Bleckley did not have a top individual, they won the overall team award.

The Runnin' Royals will be back in action at the Bay Invitational September 9 in Panama City Beach, Florida.
