For up-to-date athletics information on try-outs, cuts, and weather cancellations, please join the BCMS athletics group in Schoology. The access code for the group is JZ4M-896Q-V66DN. Contact our athletics directors, Tommy Evans or Blake Rush, with questions.

Participation in team and individual sports not only promotes a feeling of family and belonging, but it allows students to develop themselves physically and emotionally. Students gain strength and physical skills and have the opportunity to develop leadership skills while learning the art of good sportsmanship and fair play.

We offer interscholastic team opportunities every season to:

  • Safeguard the health and general welfare of the participants in the athletics program.
  • Provide opportunities for the largest possible group (number of students) to participate while ensuring the quality of the instruction and the safety of the athletes, within the limits of the appropriate supervision and facility usage.
  • Develop basic skills and continue previous skill development in physical activities that will serve the participant's present and future leisure time needs.
  • Establish and teach high standards of sportsmanship and the principles of fair play and mutual respect, which cultivate friendly relations at school.
  • Ensure that the activities sponsored are desirable; that they promote the concepts of team play as well as individual worth; that they emphasize healthy competition in which lessons are learned from both the winning and losing perspectives; and that they have educational value.

Student Spectators

If students wish to attend a sporting event as a spectator, they must go home at the end of the day and then they may return to school for the event. We do not allow students to stay after school as there is not supervision available.
