Fall Sports Recap

By: BHS Sports Staff

October 20, 2022

With Fall sports concluding, here is how it went down this season. 

The boys soccer team had a rough season this year with an overall record of 3-12. Although the team did not have many wins, the ones they did earn were terrific, specifically their 12-0 beatdown of Garfield Heights.

In their first round tournament game, the boys traveled to Crestwood last Saturday. Even though they lost by a final score of 11-1, they played hard and got some valuable postseason experience for the younger players.

Throughout the season, the boys steadily improved their leadership skills, confidence, and a love for the game.

Good luck next year, boys soccer!

The girls soccer team traveled last night to Mapleton for their first round playoff game.  Both teams being evenly matched, the Lady Canes were looking to pull off the road victory. 

It appeared that this thought would come to fruition as senior star Delaney David put the Canes on the board with an early goal. However, the Mounties tied it up with a goal of their own, thus knotting the score at 1-1 as both teams went into their halftime locker rooms.

In the second half, the Mounties took the lead with a goal at the 15-minute mark. The Lady Canes continued to fight and had some chances to tie the score, but the kicks were stopped, blocked, or wide of the target. 

As the final seconds ticked away, time officially ran out, and the Lady Hurricanes dropped the contest to Mapleton, 2-1. Overall, the Lady Canes fought hard, but the Mounties were too much to handle, knocking the Lady Canes out of the playoffs. 

The Lady Canes finished 7-10 overall, 3-4 in the Chagrin Valley Conference.

Good luck next year, ladies!

Yesterday, the Lady Canes volleyball team lost their playoff match to Elyria Catholic, 3-1. 

In the first set, Elyria Catholic jumped out to an early lead that kept increasing, winning the first set 25-12.

However, in the second set, the momentum shifted towards Brooklyn as they came out and dominated the set by a score of 25-11.

In a back-and-forth match, Elyria Catholic erased the second set and jumped back out and won the third set, 25-14.

The Lady Canes now had no room for error and needed both the fourth and potential fifth sets to move on. Unfortunately, the hosts did not give the Lady Canes a chance as they put the pedal to the medal and dominated both offensively and defensively, winning the fourth set 25-9.

The tournament loss spelled the end to their season, but the Lady Canes improved a lot this season. They finished the regular season with a record of 12-9; this is a huge improvement from last year as they went 8-15.

Great job, ladies!

The one Fall sport remaining is football.

Last Friday, the football team lost on senior night to Conneaut by a score of 35-14. With the loss, the Canes moved to 3-6, which lowered their playoff chances. 

However, the Canes host the 3-6 Independence Blue Devils tomorrow. If the Canes lose, they will officially be eliminated from playoff contention, but with a win, their playoff chances are a lot higher. 

The game plan for Independence is simple: One, play as a team and remain calm when adversity hits. Two, put everything on the line, especially for seniors, since this can potentially be their last game. Three, they need to HIT hard and force turnovers, have everyone to the ball, and be dominant all night. With a good defensive performance, this game is very winnable.

Good luck tomorrow night, fellas. Stomp the Blue Devils.
