The BFA Boys Basketball team is headed back to Barre. They will play in the Semi-Finals Thursday night at 8:15 pm against Hazen. The 4 teams that made the Final 4 are all form the Mountain Division. #1 Lake Region versus # 4 Winooski and #2 Hazen versus the #3 Bullets. Who says Southern Basketball is better than us? Bfa has had a great run this school year and last and continue to put are tiny town on the map. The Thetford Athletic Director told me last night that we have a great facility and fans.
In the Fall, our girls made it to the Semis in soccer, our Boys shocked people with their youthfull squad, our Football team made the playoffs and came within inches of playing in the State Championship game. The pig flu put a halt to both our Girls and Boys from running away with the Cross Country Champuionship.
I predict the Boys will beat Hazen by 2, and make back to back appearances in the Championship game. ( Also done in 1965 and 1966 ) (Look at these 2 trophys in the Trophy case, You will recognize some familiar names) Mr. Richard Brown was the Coach of both Teams. Sorry Mr. Brown, I still cant't call you Dick. Weve never won a State Championship in Boys Basketball.
Last but not least i see our Girls and Boys Nordic skiing team running away with a State Championship for each.
I cant forget the Cheerleaders, they had to move up to Division 1 with Rice, Essex etc.... because there too good for d-2. I see us very challenged to ever see us winning a Cheerleader State Title in this Division. It is possible.
Softball and Baseball will be starting soon. I prdict another Titlse shot for the Girls in Softball and the Baseball team to be right there in the end to play their best ball and pull off the ultimate upset.
Our Sports Teams (and band, and chorus, and drama) are doing a great deal of free advertising for our little Town. Thanx to all the Coaches, Support staff (They work their arses off to make it all happen) but mostly Thank you "The Fan, The Community and everyone else for supporting the extra-curricular activities at school We've got a great thing going here.
