I would like to speak on the boys’ basketball team and the
amazing heart and toughness they showed this weekend while also thanking a long
list of people who helped make a great day possible!
The team won the first game of the day against the host
school, Greencastle, which was BG’s first regional win since 1966. While our fans were probably outnumbered 5-1
in the stands, you would’ve never known because our BG cheer section was so
LOUD! The night game brought even more
of the BG community and we filled up the stands with black and orange to
support our team. We lost in the
regional championship game to Crispus Attucks but our team never quit! THANK YOU – Beech Grove staff and community
for making the long drive to cheer on our basketball team.
1. Athletic/Coaching Staff – Thank you for all the planning and
efforts that happened this week going into this weekend. Also, for giving up your weekend to prepare
for the games, and make sure our players were taken care of this weekend! It’s been a very challenging season for many
reasons but in the end, we couldn’t be more proud of the result and your
dedication!
2. Bus Drivers – Often times overlooked, but thank you for
safely transporting our students and coaches/teachers to and from their
destinations. Also, sacrificing most of
your weekend to do so!
3. Coach Fangman and Cheerleaders – Thank you for organizing
the student fan bus, sharing your bus space, and leading our BG fans in cheer
after cheer, louder and louder each time!
4. BG Pep Band – Thank you, Cory and Jon, for competing in a
competition Saturday morning and then getting your Pep Band together for
Saturday night to bring, as always, the best pep band music around!
Only one more week until Spring Break! Make it a great one!
