5/19/12: On Saturday
afternoon, the BP varsity team defeated Scotia in
the final game of the season to qualify for the
Class B, Section  2 Tournament. Click HERE to
read about the game. The bittersweet game came
in the wake of the passing of long time BP teacher,
Mrs. Theo Higgins. The boys decided to
dedicate the game to Mrs. Higgins with the wearing
of "Team Higgins" jerseys, and have insisted on
continuing to wear them through the remainder of the
season. The boys are confident they can make a
historic run through the tournament with Mrs.
Higgins watching over them.
The first round of Sectionals will be played on
Tuesday. Time and location are still to be
determined.
