... Keep your heads high men. You galvanized an entire community... BC, Atchison, watch parties across the country, and made Daytona red. You were so fun to watch and embodied everything this school stands for ... it hurts... but be proud. We are of you.
This is a little late but needed. Last night stung, we came up short but we will bounce back. Kudos to Peru.Insane, incredible crowd.Thank you to our band, our students, our alums, the BC & Atchison community. You all showed what makes this place special. Thank you!

Yesterday one of our freshmen celebrated his birthday. Joel Adese is from Nigeria and doesn’t have any family in the US... or does he? His brothers stepped up and got him a cake. THIS is WHY we love this group. THIS is WHY this group has a chance to be SPECIAL. Culture matters.
Yesterday we finished our home regular season undefeated. W/O question we have had THE BEST home crowds in the last 8 years.Our students, loyal fans & our incredible band have had a huge impact on our success. You all truly created an advantage for our guys.Thank You!

Congrats to Coach Charlie Gartenmayer on being named Heart of America Athletic Conference Athletic Director of the Year for 2018-19! Well deserved. He is supportive & cares about our SAs!
Fall Break... No School. Great morning for an early lift. Guys warmed up in the Historic Haverty Gym “Old Gym” Sun coming through the windows in the AM. What a cool old barn. Thanks to all those have helped us renovate and spruce it up.
6 years ago today we lost a bright and beautiful person. A day doesn’t go by without a thought of RJ and his family. Our prayers go out to his family specifically his mother, father and sister Brianna and RJ’s friend Quaran Johnson. Once A Raven Always A Raven

. Excited for our opening round game Friday morning at Friends University in Wichita!
Season ends on a tough one 79-74 in OT at MNU. We played hard & had some chances to close. That is what a 4 vs 5 game should be. We came up short. Thanks to our 2 seniors. Selfless & tough. We have come a long way when tied for 3rd and 17 wins isn’t a good season. Thanks 21 & 0
Thank you to the Wilcox, Murphy & Gartenmayer families for feeding our team lunch today. Unfortunately forgot the picture ... but none needed. BC Football Royalty. The generous community we get to be part of is amazing.

Congrats to our Graduate Assistant Coach Brandon Antl! He graduated Saturday with his MBA. Looking forward to watching his success in the future. Thanks for the hard work and good luck!
Have to give our guys a huge compliment on last night’s defensive effort.This group prepares the right way. Add that with consistent effort & grit and you grind out tough road wins.We had some good performances on O...but team defense won last night. BC 76 CSC 63. On to the next.
This woman is more special than we can describe. Remembers everyone’s name and is positive with a smile everyday. Sometimes it is great when things don’t change. We ❤️ you Ms. Lin

Won @ Mo Valley 75-70. Coming off a long road trip from Saturday on short rest ... then down 9 at the half, our guys showed grit, focus & toughness. Big defensive stops down the stretch, valued the ball & shared it for great looks. We aren’t there yet but we are getting better.
Good road win in a place we had not won .... BC 86 GVU 60 most impressed by our team defense and toughness esp. 2nd half. 4 in double digits 29 off bench 21 assists. At Clarke U. On Sat. 2pm. Hungry & Humble
