“I was approached by the coach at Greenville Tech Charter High, and I thought it was a great idea.” Says Bibb, the two campuses agreed to raise funds and sell tickets to a very special “pink game” benefitting breast cancer.

The teams from each school collected money that went to the Susan B. Komen foundation, a group for the cure for breast cancer. “I believe we raised somewhere around four thousand dollars for charity.” Says Bibb.

Heath Duncan, a Sophomore on Brashier’s team says, “I was excited about the game, I just recently found out that a friend of a friend was just recently diagnosed with breast cancer.” Coach Bibb was very proud of his team and how they came together for a great cause. “I think they enjoyed it, they really got on board with raising funds, and enjoyed doing something for the community.” The boys went to great lengths to raise money, during and after school, by chasing down cars in the parking lot and other students at lunch.     

The team even sported pink while playing in the game. They suited up in pink wrist bands, and even had special green and pink shirts made for the event. Coach Bibb is very happy about how things went this year and says , “We have set it up to be an annual thing each year.”

“I like playing because it helps me to relax,” said Soule. Most of the time when Soule plays he is very relaxed, but when Soule was playing in the State Tournament, he was really nervous. Soule, who shot a 118 at regionals, was one of the lucky few to do that good because the wind caused problems for the players. He then shot a 125 a week later at State on the same course.

The regional and state tournaments were both held at Stoney Point Ridge in Greenwood, South Carolina. The upstate regional tournament was held on Monday April 26, 2010, and the state tournament was held on May 3, 2010. BMC Seniors Weston Cavett, Blake Jones, and BMC Freshmen Chris Soule and Cole Shumaker all played at regionals, but Soule was the only one able to play in State because the seniors had to work on their senior projects.

The BMC boy’s golf team finished the season with no wins, but hope to have two or three next year. The team usually practices at Crosswinds, a par three course, Shank’s, a driving range, and Holly Tree Country Club.

“Freshman Monica Cleland scored the winning goal in PK’s after double overtime. Senior Jessica Forbes shut down 96’s star senior player, and Freshman Alexa Leopold scored her 12th goal of the season. Goalie Joelle kept her composure in goal blocking 96’s last PK to try and win the game. The team played well and hard all game!” exclaimed Coach Roberts.

Great Job Ladies!
Playoffs Begin Monday and Tuesday for both Boys and Girls.

The guys soccer team has struggled from some setbacks that prevented them from being the best they can be.  Those setbacks were a result of some of the players that were missing from the team.  Those players are Freshman Ben Slagle, Junior Andres Largacha, and Senior Sabien Clark.

“I would say that I am very glad to be back on the field, and [by]being back I get to play teams we lost to when I was absent,” says Slagle.  Slagle was out because he had a virus that made him sick for 4 days.

Andres was off of the team because he had some bad grades.  “Yes [it's fair for Andres to come back] because he pulled them [his grades] up,” said Sophomores Zach Singleton and Kyle Stevens.

“Both (Slagle and Andres) are good players, and we already have a small roster so losing those two guys really hurt us because they are good players,” says Guys Soccer Coach Mark Roberts.  “The team had to work harder to fill their [Slagle and Andres] positions,” says Stevens.

Senior Sabien Clark suffered injuries during a game earlier in the season which kept him off of the team.  “I can’t play the rest of the season,” says Clark.  Clark also says, “I am on the team. I am the captain of the team.”  Roberts thinks that Clark is a good player and that he is dedicated and fearless.   “We have to learn to play better defense because he [Sabien] was out main defender,” says Singleton.

The team has had about 6 games in the last two weeks.  Roberts tried to balance rest with work to prepare them for all these games.  Roberts thinks the team needed to rest because of all the games, but they needed to improve with practice.  Stevens says, “[the practices are] rigorous training.”  While Singleton says, “[they are] improving us as the year goes on.”

During the season the team has gotten to play its sister Greenville Tech schools.  This is the first year all three of the Greenville Tech schools have had a team.   “I thing it’s exciting to play our sister schools, and I really want to beat them,” says Roberts.  Roberts thinks the harder of the two other Greenville Tech teams to beat will be the main campus because they have had a soccer program longer than the Greer campus.

The soccer scrimmage at the old Woodmont

Last Thursday (Feb. 11) Brashier boy’s soccer team played in their first scrimmage of the year. Brashier won 1-0 against Southside Christian’s JV boys.

Mr. Roberts says “I was happy to beat them,” and “the guys played better than I expected, a couple of the freshman are going to really help, we have a couple of new upperclassmen as well, so we should be a better team.”

Brashier announces its new baseball team after about a month of conditioning.  The coach has picked the team after the tryouts.  The people who made the team are: Kyle Cavin, Heath Duncan, Chris Lancaster, Zach Jewell, Jacob Millet, Jackson Bray, Zander Dalbey, Byron Bennet, Patric Chambers, Alex Uram, John Jackson, Nick Estes, Cole Shumaker, Mark Fervin, Eric Smythe, and Trey Myers.  The team was picked from who had the best fundamentals of baseball, the ability to be coached, and sheer intensity.  Athletic Director Beau Bibb says, “We’re looking ok, an average team.”  Some of the players that Bibb thinks stand out for this year are Jackson Bray, Zach Jewell, and Jacob Millet.  The home baseball games will be played at the old Woodmont High School.
