The fall season is in full swing! Our teams have settled into their routines, working together and continuing to embody the BDS core values each day. This past week was filled with effort, energy, and plenty of highlights across the board.
Girls’ JV soccer showed tremendous determination and teamwork in their 0-3 match against Shady Hill. Despite the score, the team played with grit and discipline, maintaining strong defensive pressure throughout. Anahita Stuti-Bala was outstanding in goal, making several key saves, while the defense stayed organized and composed. On the attack, Etta Perkins fired off several impressive shots on goal, and the team’s hustle and resilience never wavered; an inspiring effort all around!
Varsity volleyball faced a talented Carroll squad and played with heart despite the loss. Lucie Mora showcased her consistent overhand serves, proof of her hard work in practice, and a special thank you goes out to Zach Xue for stepping up as team manager to help with setup and scoring, keeping everything running smoothly.
Cross country had another strong showing at their spirited home meet victory against Carroll, 19-36. Personal records (PR’s) were set by Boya Yun, Simon Bays, Penelope Wong (in her first meet back from injury), and Ashwin Balakrishnan. The top five finishers were Zoe Bantham-Livermore, Simon Bays, Alana Brown, Reema Wulfsberg, and Kevin Zhou. A fantastic performance by all!
Varsity Flag Football continued its dominant run with a big win over Carroll. Deniz Kas led the way at quarterback, delivering an incredible dart to Robin Stine for an early touchdown to set the tone. The team’s chemistry and confidence continue to grow throughout the game.
JV Flag Football dropped a close one at Carroll, but showed steady improvement and teamwork throughout the game.
It was another strong week for BDS Athletics with our athletes representing the school with pride, sportsmanship, and spirit. We’re back at it next week and ready for more great moments ahead! GO BDS!
