General Talk

         Well today we finished our third week of school!  Time is already flying by, it seems like we just started back yesterday.  We have been having a pretty good year so far, not a lot of homework, but we always got that one teacher who likes to really PILE IT ON.  And this year it is Mrs. Hernard, my English teacher.  In the past couple of weeks I have had double the amount of work from her then all of my other teachers combined, its complete ludicrous!  With that said, I must let you know how big of a deal it is to say that I have more work from my English teacher then I do from my math teacher Mrs. Moore.  Mrs. Moore is a great lady and wants us to succeed in life, but geez, she can really load you down with the work.  She used to teach college math courses in Alabama I believe and the work load she gives us was probably about what she gave her college students!        
           Now I would like to tell you a little bit about the sport I enjoy the most, basketball.  I currently play for the varsity team at school and enjoy my position as power forward.  I think the position explains itself, I like to power, forwards.  When i play this sport I try my best to give it everything I have, whether it be blocking, rebounding, or the occasional basket.  But scoring is not what my position is about, I'm there to do the dirty work, if there is a loose ball, I need to be the first one on the floor getting that ball, or if someone is about to have a wide open lay up, I need to be the one to deny that ball and send it flying towards the other end of the court.  Enough about me, basketball is ALL about the team.  For the past about five years, we have had many of the same people on our team growing stronger and getting better as a team every year.  My JV team last year had an amazing opportunity to make it all way to state and win it all.  This year my Varsity team WILL win state for the first time in many years, as well as next year.  Be expecting a great season from our JV and Varsity boys Basketball this year!  See you at the games.

BGBS Varsity Soccer

            This year we started a varsity soccer team for our school.  In the previous years we never had enough people interested in the sport to actually have a team, but this year, former professional soccer player John Carpenter came to Bluegrass to be our head coach and put forth an effort to get a team started.  We have two assistant coaches, Coach Tom and Coach Wycoff, who also are teaching us what they know about this challenging sport.  We have a total of seventeen players on the team ranged from grades seventh through the twelfth grade.  Our two captains of the team are senior Joshua Branham, and junior Dylan Johnson.  We are in the Kentucky Christian Athletic Association or KCAA which is comprised of about thirty different schools all around Kentucky.  As a group we are all learning the great sport of soccer and for our first year, trying to acquire some basic skills and moves of the game.  We have about three players that have played on an organized soccer team and as for everyone else this our first year.
              So far we have had a total of five soccer games and we tied our first game against Highlands at a score of 2-2.  Although we have not won any of our other games, we have all had a blast as a team, learning something new about the game every time we play and gaining skill and knowledge every game.  We are continuing to grow closer as a team and are progressively getting better as a team as well.  Bluegrass's next game is next Friday, September 7 against AIE in Louisville!  Next year we will have a good and experienced team ready to take on the league!
