BCS ATHLETICS GEARS UP FOR WINTER As we get into district play with Fall sports and prepare for the playoffs, we also get excited for Winter sports! We are always glad to welcome back our veteran coaches like Devan Loftis and Cash Miller, and we look forward to our relationships with new Boys Basketball coach Jan Jernberg, and new Boys Soccer coach Jesse Jordan. Stan Caffey BCS Athletic Director We always want to represent our school and our Lord in a positive way in everything that we do, and we want our young people to be challenged in everything they do. The High School experience can sometimes be exhausting to parents and students as we balance the many activities, but my advice is to enjoy this time and years from now you will look back and miss these busy times.
