BHP traveled to Seneca in a very rare Monday night matchup. The day it was played was about the only interesting part of the game. BHP held a 10 point lead at halftime, but Seneca scored 21 unanswered points to take the win over the Bears.
BHP adds a home game on Nov 13 so actually, there are two games left in the season, but in reality, only one matters. That one is this Friday against Palmetto, the only team BHP has played every year that BHP has played football.
BHP vs Palmetto is historically a rivalry game for both teams, but this season (like 2020 as a whole) feels upside down. In most years, BHP would be coming into the game as the projected winner and the only real question would be how much BHP would win by. This year is totally different. Palmetto won their region and BHP will not go to the playoffs.
This season Palmetto went undefeated in their region (5-0) while outscoring their region opponents 227 - 98. Their first loss came against Wren last week, 64-13. Palmetto will take on Woodruff in the first round of the playoffs.
For BHP, this game holds nothing but pride in playing and not joining only seven other BHP teams to ever lose to Palmetto. BHP has only lost to Palmetto once in the last 20 years, the last loss coming in 2008 (BHP 6, Palmetto 7).The threat to forever be known as one of the eight BHP teams to ever lose to Palmetto SHOULD be the driving factor, even in a short week.
Score: BHP 56 -- Palmetto 28
Team Rushing: 44 rushes for 355 yards and 7 TDs

Team Rushing: 27 rushes for 106 yards and 1 TD
Team Passing: 16/25/3 for 258 yards and 3 TDs
Team Total: 52 plays for 364 yards and 4 TDs

Passing Leader: #7 JB Altman - 16/25/3 for 258 yards and 3 TDs
Receiving Leader: #9 Blakely Williams - 6 receptions for 79 yards and 1 TD
From the outside, BHP has nothing to play for and I would assume Palmetto is viewing this year as the year to beat BHP. Even with that, I feel that BHP will be able to focus on the task, channel the Bear pride, and put little brother Palmetto back in their place.
Prediction: BHP 28 -- Palmetto 21
