BK lacrosse salutes 2007 graduate Chani Taggart! Chani just completed an OUTSTANDING four-year career at Regis University (Denver, CO). Among other things, Chani played nearly every position for the NCAA D2 Rangers during her career, was named her league’s Player of the Week, and she was a key person in improving the Regis program and helping it rise to national prominence.
Chani is the first BK graduate to complete a four year lacrosse career at the NCAA level. Not the just the first woman, but the first student/athlete — male or female — from BK to mark this achievement.
Good job, Chani!
The only graduate of an Idaho high school to ever sign an LOI and play NCAA D-1 Lacrosse, Cassie Brunelle, was the top selection for St. Mary’s College on the 2011 MPSF All-Academic team. Good job, Cassandra!
More national publicity for BK girls lacrosse. The program gets more respect on the East Coast than it does on Franklin Road.
Alison Steinbacher (BK), Grace Donovan (Centennial), and Abby Ewing (Eagle) represented Idaho as members of the select Utah-Idaho regional team in 2011. The trio helped the Utah-Idaho squad to a 4-1 record at the US Lacrosse Womens Division National Invitational in Long Island, NY recently. A great showing by these young athletes, and it was even reported (with this same photo) on KTVB Channel 7 on Sunday, May 29th.
Good job Alison, Grace, and Abby!
Bishop Kelly and Centennial were tied 12-12 at the end of regulation in the 2011 5A/4A State Lacrosse Championship Game tonight at Eagle High’s Thunder Stadium. The Knights outscored the Patriots 3-1 during the 6-minute overtime period to win the 2011 State Championship, 15-13. For BK it is a 3-PEAT, having won the championship with wins over Eagle High in 2009 and 2010. Head Coach JoJo Brunelle caps her 7th season at the helm with an overall record of 100-17-1.
“Centennial was equal to us tonight, and either team could have taken this win,” said Brunelle. “It was a moment of truth for us, and the girls came through. I am proud of them and all they have accomplished as a team this season.”
The Knights end the season 16-2-0, with the two losses coming against Utah teams in the preseason Beetdigger Tournament in Salt Lake.
BK in 5A-4A State Lacrosse Championship
The Bishop Kelly girls lacrosse team is playing for the State Championship today (Thursday, May 19) against Centennial High. The match will be played at 6:15 p.m. at Eagle Middle School. The Knights (15-2 overall) have beaten every 5A school in Idaho this regular season, but Centennial (11-3-1) is rolling. Can the small school Knights (enrollment 625) overcome 5A Centennial (1,884) and secure the title?
When Coach Brunelle hired videographer Jeremy Erickson to shoot the Eagle game, she did not expect a bonus “highlight reel,” but here it is. Thanks to Mr. Erickson for being such a talented professional. The full length game film will be a valuable instructional tool, and these scoring clips are a joy to watch!
