The Lady Bears soccer team officially passed the half-way point in the season and are now into the homestretch. As of Monday they had played all district teams other than Meade County. Meade County or Brandenburg if you go by cities is about an hour and a half trip in a bus from BCHS. The bus departed the high school optimistic as usual in hopes of that illusive first win of the season. Meade County girls with a 6 wins and two losses record was a tall order to fill. Our girls got to the field about 10 minutes before game time.
