The 2022 tennis season has come to a close for Bay Area Christian School, which sent a number of players to the TAPPS 4A State Tennis Tournament.

Madeline Sotirelis advanced in girls singles and Noah Box played in the boys singles. In the doubles competition, Olivia Chhlang and Claire Murphy made it in girls doubles and Jude Hebert and C. Bergvall reached the tournament in boys doubles

Golf

The 2022 golf season was a solid one on the links for Bay Area Christian School.

At the District golf meet in April, the Broncos’ boys and girls golf squads each finished third overall as a team. Both teams qualified to move on to the Regional Tournament. Individually, Emma Iles finished as the District Champion and was in line for another all-state season.

Track & Field

The track season for Bay Area Christian was one that saw a lot of personal bests across the board.

At the TAPPS South Regional Meet in April, plenty of Broncos made noise advancing to the 2022 TAPPS State Track & Field Meet. The field was led by senior pole vaulter Micah Collins, who cleared a personal-best 15 feet to win the Regional Championship and advance to State, where he finished second a year ago.

Other top finishers for the Broncs at the Regional Championships included Trey Showen (3rd in the 800-meter run, 3rd in 1600-meter run, 4th in 3200-meter run), Sam Stanley (3rd in 100-meter hurdles), Caroline Bonnecaze (3rd in the 1600-meter run) and Andrew Boyd (4th in high jump). In the relays, BACS 4x200-meter girls relay team qualified for state with a time of 1:53.72.

“It’s good, we’re young,” BACS track & field coach Bret Sewell said. “It was a good year. I’m proud of this group right here. Especially for Micah, who had a difficult year last year.”

Throughout the season there were other top performers.

Sophomore Grace Jermstad had some solid performances in the high jump, clearing a personal best of 4-feet-10-inches in April. Bonnecaze also did the long jump as well and reached 14-feet-7.5-inches. Younger sister Lauren has arrived at BACS and excelled in the 100- and 200-meter dashes as a freshman with personal bests of 13.10 (100-meter) and 27.94 (200-meter). Bonnecaze finished fifth in the 100-meter dash in the Regional Championship.

The boys team was well balanced.

In the field events, Kade Sink found success in the shot put, reaching 41-feet1-inch as a personal best in April. On the oval, Scott Farine stood out in the 200-meter dash, a personalbest of 23.38 in April as a freshman.

Softball

Annelise Shaw, Emma Iles, Amanda Pollock, Gracie Rambin and Calley Bennett

As the Broncos entered this season, they were eyeing another run back to the TAPPS Final Four at year’s end.

Led by Schreiner University-signee Amanda Pollock (p), Calley Bennett (3B), Emma Iles (C, P, 3B), Gracie Rambin (SS) and Annelise Shaw (CF), the Broncos were primed for a big season. Other names to take note of from this past season were Allie Atwell, Alyson Griffith and Halle Hudgins.

Some of the highlights from the year included Pollock throwing a no-hitter against Westbrook in April, which capped a perfect district mark for Bay Area Christian School. Pollock at the end of district play had 10 wins and 77 strikeouts for the season.

Other highlight wins this season included defeating John Cooper School 8-4 and Alpha Omega 14-2.

Baseball

As the Bay Area Christian School Broncos headed into the 2022 season, the target was firmly on the backs of the defending TAPPS Division III State Champions.

The Broncos, which had 10 seniors on the roster this spring, opened the season with a sweep of Danbury, Beaumont United, Brazosport and Hitchcock High at the Hitchcock Tournament in February. In March, BACS backed that performance going 3-1 in the Father Wilson Tournament, capping it with a 6-4 win over John Cooper, and going 3-1 in the Franklin Tournament.

On April 1, the Broncos defeated Westbury Christian 19-4, which gave Broncos coach Kyle Kennedy career win No. 200.

The Broncos went on to cap a perfect district mark in April punch their ticket to the playoffs as the No. 1 seed from their district.

The 2022 squad was anchored by Baylor signee Jordan Medellin, who crushed the ball at the plate and was lights out on the bump all in the same night. Jeremy Goza and Lane Escamilla also came up big on the mound as well. Escamilla could also swing the stick, including going 3 for 3 with a home run, triple and six RBIs against Clear Brook, as did Michael Tweed, Reese Brewer, Adam Atwell and Grayson Thallman, Ethan Mann and Josh Flory.

AFTER HER SOPHOMORE SEASON, AVERY HODGE MADE A DECISION THAT DRASTICALLY ALTERED THE ROAD OF HER HIGH SCHOOL CAREER.

Hodge, a softball phenom as soon as she stepped onto the Tompkins High campus as a freshman, left the Katy ISD school for Fort Bend Christian Academy. Sure, she wanted to compete for a State Championship and felt the Eagles could get her there. But more than that, Hodge wanted to right her ways academically.
