Summer Ball's Around the Corner

We are five weeks removed from the players reporting date on August 13th. In Division III where we are also the support staff we stay busy managing the details that will allow things to run smoothly in August. The complete coaching staff returns to work on August 1st and we are able as a group to use that two week period to finalize the plans that will hopefully lead to great success in the fall. We had a strong academic performance in the Spring Term and in Summer-I and not a single athlete will be lost for academic shortfall. This is particularly noteworthy in that at BC an athlete can be eligible by NCAA standards, but not have met school GPA levels necessary to play. Congrats to this group and the staff of Student Academic Support who pushed these kids to these efforts.

Next week we will be announcing the plans that are being set in the fall to honor decades of teams at the five regular season home games scheduled this fall. It will begin on September 3rd where the teams of the 2000’s will gather commemorating the 10th anniversary of BC’s Stagg Bowl appearance. At games in the fall the teams from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s will be featured and honored in the game programs and events surrounding BC Saturdays. Be sure to check BC websites and Facebook pages so those dates can be saved. We hope a large group of people will get a chance to prove you are always an Eagle.

Go BC!
