HOUSTON - It took 48 years for Bay Area Christian to win its first boys team State Championship. It took the Broncos just 12 more months to add a second.
The Bay Area Christian Broncos (28-13) defeated Lake Country Christian 5-3 on Friday afternoon at the University of Texas-Arlington inside Clay Gould Ballpark to capture the program's second-straight State Championship. BACS has now won TAPPS Division III State Championships in 2021 and 2022.
Adam Atwell was named the player of the game. He finished pitching 5 1/3 innings giving up one run. Atwell hit 3-for-3, one walk, scored a run in the State Championship game for the Broncos. Baylor-signee Jordan Medellin closed out the game for the Broncos on the mound.
There was drama as Lake Country Christian loaded the bases with one out and scored a run on a groundout to cut the lead down to two. With runners at the corners and two outs, Medellin was able enduce a groundout to Atwell, who stepped on second base and end the game.
The Broncos defeated Northland Christian 7-5 in the State Semifinal on Thursday night to advance to the State Championships.

Emma Iles playing softball and golf for BACS
In Emma Iles' phone calendar for the Spring, consider her marked busy - all the time.
The Bay Area Christian School sophomore plays not one but two sports at the same time in the spring starring for the softball and golf teams.
“With both sports being in the spring, it has been a lot of work,” Iles said. “But very exciting and definitely worth it.”
Iles’ hard work paid off with a pair of trips to State as a freshman.
Being in her sophomore year, Iles enjoys both sports, from hitting her irons and sharpening her short game on the links to stepping into the box and hitting on the softball diamond.
As it stands now, Iles envisions herself carrying her golf bag down the course for a collegiate team in the future.
“I would love to play golf in college,” Iles said. “My dream schools for golf are Dallas Baptist University or Texas A&M.”
The BACS dual-sport star – whose walkup song this year is Iron Man – has enjoyed repping a school that means so much to her.
“BACS has definitely prepared me for college and offered me a Biblical-based education,” Iles said.
