Recent BCHS graduate Dorian Cole has signed to run for the Talladega College Tornadoes of Alabama. Cole ran the 1,600, 800 and 200-meters for head coach Steve Owens’ Red Raiders track team and also for a traveling track team at On Your Mark Sports under Frank Pruitt.

The Bacon County High School football team, under second-year coach Ken Cofer, has been hard at work during the summer preparing for the season opener at home against Lanier County. The Raiders played two scrimmage games in August, with the second pitting them against the always-tough Cairo Syrupmakers. The Red Raiders scored twice in the first half to take an early lead, but eventually fell in the scrimmage game.
The Red Raiders return seniors Aubrey Carter at quarterback and Jacob Carver at running back and linebacker. Also returning are junior Wesley Cothern and senior Ametrius Williams, who will play quarterback and defensive back. The Raiders begin five consecutive games on the road this month against Charlton County, defending state champion and top-ranked Benedictine, Long County, Bryan County and Jeff Davis County.
Last season, Cofer led the Raiders to a playoff berth following a 6-4 record, winning five of their last six and securing a number-three seed in tough Region 2-AA.
