Sorry it has been a while since I last posted. I really don’t have a good excuse except that the season has started (Hooray for Oct. 15th) and we have been busy with fundraising!!!
Homecoming was a couple of weeks ago and we did our annual “yard sale” of old gear to sale to alumni and BC friends. The best part about Homecoming is seeing some of the former players and reminiscing about the “good ole’ days.” After 14 years on the sideline here at BC I am always impressed with the number of alumni who turns out for Homecoming.
We are in our second week of practice and I have to say that I have been very impressed with the competitiveness, hustling, and work ethic that this team brings. They are really pushing one another to get better and that is what it is going to take for us to have a successful season.
Those of you who come out to games will see four new faces this year. Those freshman are: 5’8 guard/forward Holly Morgan from Buffalo Gap H.S., 5’10 Forward/Center Rebecca Reifsnider from Keymar, MD, 5’7 Guard/Forward Molly Shelley from Simsburg, CT, and 5’6 Guard Berlyn Seitz from Fulton, MO. We are excited about what these four young ladies bring to the court!!
With a solid returning class and the addition of our freshman the whole team is excited about the 2010-11 season. I can’t wait for us to tip-it up and get the season rolling.
We are having our 3rd annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser this Saturday, Oct. 30 from 3:30 – 6:00 p.m. on the upper-level of the gymnasium. There is a lot going on campus: our women’s soccer team is hosting, for the first time, a first-round game in the ODAC tournament, football plays their last home game against E & H, and men’s basketball will have an alumni scrimmage starting around 4:00. Take this opportunity to come out and show your BC Pride, while also supporting us in our fundraiser. Bring some extra money because we have some great silent-auction items too. Cost of the dinner is $6 for adults, $4 for students, and kids under 5 eat $2. Did I mention it is all you can eat??
A couple of dates to mark on your calendars are December 1st and February 19th. The December 1st game versus Virginia Wesleyan will be our annual toy drive. Bring a new, unwrapped toy and get into the game for FREE. All toys will be donated to the Harrisonburg-Rockingham County United Way. Please help us make a child’s Christmas special. The February 19th game versus Emory & Henry is our Pink Zone game. Wear pink and make a donation for admission to the game. We have great half-time door prizes and hope you will help us continue to raise breast cancer awareness.
I look forward to seeing you in the stands this season!!
As always …Go Eagles!!
