Royals Advance to Antebellum Classic Title Game | HS Sports

Bleckley had a dog fight on their hands Friday evening in the Antebellum Classic semifinals.  Their opponent was the Thomson Bulldogs.  The game was a physical affair that saw several hard fouls and a pair of offsetting technicals. 

One of those physical plays, an intentional and flagrant foul called on a Thomson player as Rydealous Taylor scored, helped turn the game.  Bleckley was down six with under four minutes left.  Taylor convered three of four three throws to make it a one-point game.  Mario Beck put the Royals ahead ten seconds later.

A lead that grew to five was down to one with less than 30 seconds left but BCHS held on to win 63-60.  Beck scored 30.  Taylor scored 17.  BCHS plays for the championship Saturday at 8:30 p.m. in Milledgeville.
