Fall Sports Updates!

Here we sit two months into the school year the weather will soon (hopefully) be getting cooler but Bayside athletics are really starting to heat up!

Boys and Girls Basketball opene up practices this week. I heard that the boys team opened practice with their very own version of Midnight Madness. The basketball team returns some key players and I'm sure Coach Watson will have them ready to roll when the season opens on the road at Alabama School of Math and Science at 6:30.

The swim team will participate in the Spooky Splash at Bishop State on Halloween Day. The meet starts at 9:00. Get your floaties and your sunscreen and make the drive over to the Bishop State campus and support our swimmers as they wrap up another strong season in the pool!

Congratulations to the middle school volleyball team on winning the county volleyball championship with a victory over Elberta. Coach Reibe and Coach Thompson did a terrific job with the girls this season.

The middle school football team wrapped up a spot in the county championship game with a 34-8 victory over Summerdale. The win improves their overall record to 5-1. Bayside will play their last regular season game vs. St. Luke's at home this Thursday at 6:00. The county championship football game will be played right here at Bayside on Thursday, October 22 at 6:00. Come out and support our future varsity stars as they attempt to capture the school's first ever middle school football championship.

The cross country team will compete in the McGill Toolen Relay on Halloween Day at Langan Park. Sectionals are right around the corner (Nov. 5th in Auburn) and the state cross country meet is less than a month away (Nov. 14th in Moulton, AL). The McGill Relay will be an excellent tune up for the sectional and state meet. If you can, get out to Langan Park and support our cross country teams.

The varsity football team lost a heartbreaker to Cottage Hill last week (30-29). The Admirals fought gallantly to the very end. The team will travel north to Luverne this week to battle with a strong Luverne team. I have heard there is a fan bus going to the game this week let's make it a Bayside crowd. A win this weekwould boost the Admirals chances of hosting the first playoff game in school history. It sure would be nice to be playing right here in Daphne the first week in November rather than having to travel. Good Luck to the Admirals as they continue forward in this wonderfully entertaining season. The team will travel again next week to Central-Hayneville and then will host 5A Gulf Shores on October 30 for Homecoming.

The volleyball team dominated the area tournament yesterday defeating Choctaw County and Cottage Hill Christian on their way to advancing in volleyball playoffs. Bayside will host the regional volleyball tournament on Saturday right here atgood old Bayside. The volleyball team is attempting to win an unprecedented 8th straight Alabama state volleyball chamionship. The Lady Admirals will host the substate tournament on October 22 also at Bayside. The state tournament begins in Birmingham on October 28th. We would like to see as many familar faces as we can in Birmingham as these girls try to do something which has never been done by any team in ANY classification. We hope everyone will turn out this weekend and support the volleyball team.

As Always,

GO ADMIRALS!
