It is with great pleasure that I welcome you back for another exciting year of baseball and all athletics at BCHS. As a former Athletics Director and football/basketball coach, I know full well the value of engaging in athletics at the high school level. The lessons learned on the playing field will be utilized by our student-athletes throughout their lives. The joys of victory and the pain of defeat develop a common bond amongst teammates and coaches that will be remembered for years to come. Being able to see our students compete and represent Bear Creek High School is absolutely one of my favorite parts of my job. Let’s all work together to positively support our student-athletes and coaches throughout the season. I am truly excited for another great year.
GO BEARS!!! It is the philosophy of the Bear Creek High School Athletic Department that participation in athletics is an integral part of the educational process. The many lessons that athletics can teach: sportsmanship, self-discipline, teamwork, commitment, and developing self confidence, as well as dealing with success and overcoming adversity, are lessons that will last a lifetime. The true value of high school athletics rests in the learning of these lessons. We encourage student participation in the athletic program and would like to involve as many students as possible in an educationally sound and successful competitive, interscholastic experience. High school athletics is a competitive experience; therefore not all who try out make the team, nor do all those who make the team receive the same participation opportunities in contest. Ultimately, the participation level of individuals is a staff decision. Our coaches believe in this philosophy and see themselves as instruments in its implementation. The fields and courts are used as classrooms where these “lessons of life” can be taught in an environment where student motivation is great.

Bear Creek High School’s dedication to excellence extends to our competitive athletic programs. In this endeavor the Bear Creek Athletics serves as one of the extensions of the classroom, attempting to provide many learning opportunities and enhancing the learning, which occurs within the classroom. All team members, regardless of ability, will be afforded opportunities to develop their work ethic, sense of commitment and social and athletic skills. The athletic department will strive to develop in each athlete: good sportsmanship, team play, good work habits, a competitive spirit, as well as team and school loyalty. The participants in our program will be expected to display the proper characteristics of ethical conduct and fair play. They are also expected to show respect to fellow players, coaches, officials, opposing teams, and fans. Finally, the athletic program will encourage a winning attitude while not losing sight of the previous stated characteristics.
AS ALWAYS, GO BEARS!!
Jeffrey R. Lueders Athletic Director
