People in droves came to Cochran Walmart Thursday night for post-Thanksgiving shopping. Since opening, people flock each year to get deals on clothing, toys, technology, and more. It was also a chance for fellowship as odds were you'd find someone you knew also braving the crowds to shop.

The BCMS competition cheer squad won the A/AA/AAA division of the Bulldog Invitational hosted by Morgan County High School Saturday.  You can view more photos from the competition here.  Bleckley will be at the Middle Georgia Cheer Classic hosted by Houston County High School September 17.  It starts at 9:45 am with BC going on at 10:15.

The Cochran Bleckley Recreation Department board announced Wednesday afternoon that director David Harrell would be resigning effective November 4 to take another job. A letter given to Harrell written by chair Chan Jones on behalf of the rec. board said in part, "While we all will hate to see you leave, take pride in the fact that you have truly left us in better standing because of your tireless work and dedication."

According to the letter, Harrell is considering remaining a board member. Andy Brand moves from athletics director to rec. director.
