Thursday night the BJH Freshman football team took on the Allen Eagles.


The Broncos jumped ahead early to take a commanding 14-0 lead. Never looking back, the Broncos dominated the rest of the game. Taking the M and E out of team, the Broncos collectively played an outstanding game. Each player deserves to be recognized for their hard work. The Broncos look to ride the wave of momentum as they tame the stallions of Euless Jr High. Let's pack the stands of Trinity high school next Wednesday night. Games @ 5:30/7:00.

FRESHMAN VOLLEYBALL

The Freshman Lady Broncos played their final match of the season Tuesday night vs. Euless Jr. High on the road at Trinity.


The Lady Broncos crushed the competition winning it in two sets. Tough serves by Hannah Due, Macey Spicer, Presley Rivers, and Emily Ventrca got the Stallions on their heels. Big swings by Avery Burgan, Alina Vogt, Hannah Due, and Ella Trevino crushed the Stallion’s spirits. Great sets from Macey and Gracie Schwartz kept the game alive, as well as tough back row defense by Tagan Henley, Natalie Luna, and Katrina Spencer.


The girls had a dominating season with a final record of 23-7! In addition, they won 1st in the Paradise Tournament, 2nd in the Decatur Tournament, and were undefeated HEB District Champs!
