Buckingham County High School’s varsity football team produced a victorious homecoming performance that downed visiting Randolph-Henry High School 55-12 on Friday, Oct. 18, giving the Knights their fifth win in a row and improving their overall record to 6-1.

They led 55-6 at halftime and allowed younger players a chance to compete.

“We were able to just come out and move the ball,” Buckingham Head Coach Seth Wilkerson said. “I think the offensive line is coming together.”

He began inserting backups into the game at the start of the second half.
