Vontarius West gains some yardage Lake Gibson Friday night in Bartow's homecoming game. Bartow lost the game 33-29.
It was a perfect night Friday for homecoming at Bartow Memorial Stadium and while the Yellow Jackets appeared they’d come away with a football victory and go a game above .500 a last minute touchdown by Lake Gibson gave Bartow its fourth straight loss 33-29 and a 3-4 record on the season.
The game also saw a Braves player, kicker Beckly Njoh, taken to the hospital by ambulance when he and Rashon Denegall collided at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The home crowd was especially enthusiastic in welcoming the Jackets onto the field, getting behind the squad in the next to last home game of the year.
