Two Big Bad Football Players

Tuesday’s flag football loss to the Easley Yellowjackets was by a wide margin, but the Bears have hope!

“We haven’t practiced much. We had two days notice for this game, so we have lots more work to do to improve,” Rick said. Rick played QB for this game and was besieged with interceptions. However, he also scored the only points of the game by picking off a pass in the opponents’ end zone and running it all the way back for six. He then threw a pass to Zach for the two point conversion.

“We played a team that has played together for years. We were nervous and missing some key players, but I expect them to bounce back tonight,” Athletic Director Yanic McDowell said.

Tonight’s game is against Wren at 8 p.m. No games will be held next week due to Spring Break for CCBS and most area schools, and the schedule resumes for the Bears on April10th. Hope to see you there.

The Bears Cross Country team set out on a 5K Trail Run in Demorest, GA March 10th, and left the rest of the crowd wondering who they were and what the heck happened.

Jimmy took First Place in his age group and First overall with a 20:33 time, averaging a 6:38 minute mile. James took First Place in his age division and Third Place overall, finishing just 50 seconds behind Jimmy . Rick took Third in his age group, also right on Jimmy’s heels at 22:45, and Sixth overall. Nick took Third in his age group and 12th overall.

Loucas took 10th, Dain took 11th and Tommy took 15th  in their11-14-year-old age group.

Congratulations to all our boys, and Coach Josh as well, who finished a respectable sixth in his age group too!

Next up is the Chick-Fil-A 5K Road Run on April 21st. Go Bears!
