This year there are more student/athletes playing lacrosse at Bishop Kelly than any other sport the school offers. The Boy’s (2002) and Girls (2006) have each won State Championships, and this year’s teams are among the best in Idaho. The Bishop Kelly Alumni Association recognizes and salutes the importance of lacrosse at BK, and this banner is a gift from them — the AlumKnights.
BK Lacrosse - we love it!
CHAMPS!! KNIGHTS WIN THE BEETDIGGER CHAMPIONSHIP IN SLC
BK’s girl’s lacrosse team completed a perfect weekend of lacrosse by defeating Jordan High (Utah) in the Championship Game of the 10th Annual Beetdigger Tournament, held in Salt Lake City. The Knights rallied in the second half to overcome the host Lady Diggers and secure the championship, 10-7. It was the first time in the history of the tournament that a team outside of Utah won the title.
“It was a total team effort, everyone did their job and that’s what it took to win it all,” said Head Coach JoJo Brunelle (5th season, 54-13-1). “We played tough defense around the crease and goal, and offensively there was no single player for opponents to key on because we have so many threats.”
The Knights beat Riverton (Utah) in the semi-finals, while Jordan edged Las Vegas-based Bonanza on their side of the bracket. The 16 team tournament included select teams from Idaho, Utah and Nevada. BK is now 7-0 on the season and 2-0 in TVWLL action. Idaho’s Girls Lacrosse State Tournament is scheduled for May.
NOTES: The largest school a Bishop Kelly athletic team has ever defeated — in the 45 year history of the school — in any sport? Believed to an achievement of the 2009 BK Girls Lacrosse team, which edged Riverton High (Utah) 7-5 in the semi-final of the 10th Annual Beetdigger Tournament in Salt Lake City. The largest high school in Utah, Riverton is home to a whopping 2,491 students in just grades 10, 11 and 12! The same three grades at BK include approximately 500 students. Riverton is ranked nationally in the top 700 for school enrollment. They have more than 900 students in one class alone….The Knights run to the Championship included wins over Bingham High (enrollment 2,248 grades 10-12) and Jordan High (enrollment 1,977, grades 10-12)….BK will host Idaho’s state championship finals on Tuesday, May 19.
