All Athletes Please Take Notice If you play any sport at BCHS you are responsible for the uniform that is given to you. You need to keep them clean and free of tears and rips. When you turn the uniforms in to your coach they should be ready to be used for the next season. Even more important the athlete is responsible for turning in their uniforms at the end of that sports season. Right now we need SOFTBALL Uniforms and baseball uniforms that HAVE NOT BEEN TURNED IN. If your child played either of these sports this past year and they have not returned all of their uniform it needs to be done now Turn into the office immediately. The season will be here before you know it. The uniforms are very expensive so please if any of you have any uniforms from any sport, return them. Bring in your uniforms
Order your playoff tickets and buy your grey tee shirt!
