Raiders Cross Country
XC Raider Nation — We did it!
A great year is in the books! Both teams did awesome at District, with several runners hitting new PRs and the 8th grade boys taking 1st place as a team!
It’s been a great season, with its ups and downs. We’ve had tough practices, challenging races, hot days, tired legs, and plenty of moments when things didn’t go exactly as planned. But through it all, this group continued to show up, work hard, encourage one another, and get better. I couldn’t be more proud of this group and everything they accomplished this season. Thank you to our runners and families for making our season so special!
Uniforms now need to be turned in. Please bring those back to Coach Wernicke as soon as possible.
Great job, Raiders! On to track!

Jason's Deli Game Day Box Meal
For Football we are going to participate in the Jason's Deli Game Day Box Lunch Program this season. The Jason’s Deli Game Day Program will allow a meal to be delivered to your athlete before games. Your athlete will receive a healthy, filling meal and game days will be made easier for you! This is not mandatory. If you wish to bring a meal up to the school on game day you may do that, but be aware of traffic. There will be a bin to place it in. ***All questions need to go to Jason's Deli for game day orders, the BCMS coaches have no control over anything to do with Jason's Deli orders***
Please note orders must be placed at least 24 hours before your event. Please follow the link below to learn more information, to sign up and make payment directly to Jason's Deli.
