Long (1-0) @ BC (1-0)


First region game for both teams and first BC game at the newly refurbished T.A. Wright Stadium.  Long has traditionally been one of the worst football programs in Georgia.  The school did not even field a team from 1991-2001.  BC leads the all-time series 2-0 with one of the two meetings being a near record setter.  In 2008, BC defeated Long 63-50.  Total yards, combined points, and passing yards by a QB (Jake Durham), are all in the top 10 in state history for a single game.

In 2012, Long has a new found confidece in most part due to recent success on the middle school level.  Along with that, the Blue Tide cruised to a 30-6 win over Lanier Co. last week.  Most prognostications had Long finising between 8-10 in the region. Following the first week, the opinion on Long has changed just a bit and what was once thought to be an easy win for a majority of the region now might be otherwise. They have never struggled finding athletes and have 3 guys on offense with breakaway ability.  The two best players on defense might be their ends and could cause BC problems with their perimeter running game. 

BC should win this game but it is definitely not the gimmie that it was two weeks ago.
