Fall 2009 Season Wrap-Up
by the BFS Coaches

Girls Varsity Volleyball 
The Girls VB team completed another successful, fun, and rewarding season.  We started the year with 8 players, and ended with 13 due to the cancellation of the JV team.  This was a bitter/sweet situation.  It was bitter because this is the first year that we didn't have a JV team; but, at the same time it was sweet because we had a great, enthusiastic team who wanted to learn the game and play to the best of their ability.  It was terrific to see the growth and progress of each member throughout the season.  The future promises to be bright for our young squad. We had three seniors, Maqueda, Serra, and Asha, who gave a great effort in every game, one junior, Abbi, who joined the sport for her first time, one freshman, Herron, who showed great promise, and eight sophomores, Amaris, Katie, Zoe, Jessica, Erin, Shani, Sonja, and Lisa, who promise to carry on the BFS volleyball tradition with their skills and dedication to the sport.  Overall, it was highly rewarding and exciting experience.

Boys Varsity Cross Country 
Kieran N. and the cross country team had quite a  successful 2009 campaign.  The team finished 3rd place in the ACIS Championships, its highest place ever.  Kieran, a junior, was second overall with a time of 13:59 on the hilly Van Cortlandt Park 4K course.  The team has been bolstered by a powerful group of sophomores led by Larry and Alan.  BFS will compete in the NYSAIS Championships on November 8th.  Kieran will be looking to nab a qualifying position for the New York Federation Championships.  The team looks to be strong again next year, as they graduate zero seniors from this 2009 squad. 
 
Girls Varsity Soccer
Girls Soccer had one of the best seasons in years.  The team was lead by senior captain Sophia, whose tireless efforts up and down the field were exhausting to watch.  The team was lead in scoring by junior midfield/forward Molly who had six goals in ten games.  Also sophomore sensation Madeleyn who had scored six goals in 2008 ended the season with tailing five goals.  The team was supported by excellent goalkeeping play by freshman Janna . Without her the team would of not been able to compete in every game. The defense was lead by juniors Hannah and Beatrice.  Eighth grader Olivia P. held the midfield together with her play and helped keep the team keep possession of the ball. This year the team was helped in part of the dual sport playing Zoe.  Zoe has played on various club teams and is currently on the highly competitive Gotham Girls. The team tailed sixteen goals this year surpassing the last five seasons combined.  With the loss of one senior and the incoming of numerous players from the Middle School, the team will have lofty goals for next year with an eye on finishing in the top four of the PSAA in 2010.  "Great season!" to all the Girl’s Varsity Soccer players: Senior: Sophia, Junior: Molly, Miriam, Krystal, Hannah, Beatrice, Sophomores: Zoe , Madelyn , Jun, Oona, Victoria, Freshmen: Janna, Sophia, Hanyang, Eighth Grader: Olivia P.

Boys Varsity Soccer 
This was a hard-fought year for boys varsity soccer. Led by the tireless Morgan, the boys showed a lot of heart and pulled out a few good results with a young team. Conway was a stalwart all season in goal, and mightily contributed to our ability to compete. With ever-improving young players like Theo, Noah, Larry, and Misha backing a core of solid Juniors returning, next season is sure to be one of improved results, especially with the most dangerous forward in the league, Owen, looking to snatch the scoring title in his senior season.

Middle School Volleyball
The team had a magical season and the team grew closer as a group.  All of the 21 players deserve to be congratulated for their hard work and how much they grew skill wise.  We had some tough matches, especially vs. Berkeley Carroll and Claremont Prep, but the team dug in and won the deciding third game in each case.  Beating Steiner to become league champions and York Prep in the playoffs was a wonderful way to end the season.
 
Middle School Soccer
The team competed for the first time in a league. The players did a great job and worked hard giving full effort.  One of the issues we had during the season was having our full squad on game days.  We want to thank our 8th grade players for their efforts the last two years and we are looking forward to our 7th graders returning next year with a new crop of 6th graders.
 
Blue Pride!
