"I was very impressed with this team’s first showing for the preseason," BGHS coach Chris Karl said. "Not only was this tournament earlier than last year, giving us less time to prepare, but over half of the team was not available, due to other conflicts such as IMEA and Speech-Debate. This is a great start for the JV team and I can’t wait to see how they will grow together over the season and what they can accomplish."
