As the bitter, blizzardy winter comes to an end, sunshine, warmth, and sports begin to pick up again this spring season.

Starting this March, athletes will see the turf and courts yet again as they compete during the start of a new spring sports season here at BHS. With the constant influx and outflux of players year to year, it is always interesting to see how each season will pan out.

Boys Lacrosse
2025 Record: 9-7

Captains: Hunter Ljunggren, Trent Tracy, Luke Gagliardi

The Boys Lacrosse team is setting their sights for March 31, where they will play their first game of the season at East Lyme. With a surge in freshmen, the team is looking to beef up before they kick their season off.

Not only will the team have a good lineup of freshmen, but they also will keep most of their team from the previous year.

“This year [is looking] better than last year, we have lots of returning starters, and we only lost 2 seniors. We are definitely looking to make some noise,” concluded Gagliardi.

Girls Lacrosse
2025 Record: 7-4

Captains: Aliza Giordano, Giuliana Barros, Dylan Hall, Lilly Panuccio

The Girls Lacrosse team will play at home on their BHS turf for their first game against West Haven on April 6.

With four prominent captains: Aliza Giordano, Giuliana Barros, Dylan Hall, and Lilly Panuccio they are set to do so.

Boy’s Tennis
2025 Record: 13-7

Captains: Mathias Schalper, Evren Akin, Ishaan Bhawnani

The Boy’s Tennis team is looking towards new beginnings, and what this new season could hold for them. The team appears to only improve season by season as bonds grow stronger, which plays a big role in the team’s success, according to Ishaan Bhawnani.

“Our team relies heavily on communication, and it’s definitely reflective in our games. While Tennis is both an individual and team sport, in the end we all come together; being there for each other is one of our strengths,” Bhawnani added.

Girl’s Tennis
2025 Record: 10-8

Captains: Hana Omeragic, Tate Jones, Lily Gagliardi

The Girls Tennis team will take to the courts in the afternoon hours of April 4, where they will play their first game away against Cheshire. That game will be closely followed by three others at Sheehan, Daniel Hand, and Foran. Their team will mainly consist of returning upperclassmen, who have become accustomed to the court. They’re hoping to find continued success after a positive previous season, and to keep climbing the ranks.

Boy’s Baseball
2025 Record: 12-9

Captains: Trevor Cser, Jake Pombo

Boy’s Baseball has their first game on April 6, where they will face Cheshire on the BHS home diamond. The team is hoping to start off the season on the right foot, after a well fought and well earned season last year, ending with a record of 12-9 in the regular season.

“We had some hard losses on varsity last year, so we are looking to improve. I think we will still be able to make states, there [are going to be] lots of competitive games, but I think we can succeed,” remarked Captain Trevor Cser in a comment to The Buzz.

Girls Softball
2025 Record: 6-14

Captains: Not yet decided

The Girl’s softball team is set to play their first league game in April, on the 6th at West Haven. With a hard fought previous season, the team is hoping to push through the grit and keep improving under new head coach Theresa Kane. Their dedication in the offseason shows a group who won’t stop improving on themselves and persevering.

Captains: Summer Sabatino, Stacia Comen, Camilla Gomez, Bidhee Thapa

2025 Record: 10-6

Captains: Chase Nixon, Luca Deleggie

The golf team is looking forward to another powerful season on the course. Their first match is scheduled for April 6 on their home course, Pine Orchard Country Club, against Xavier.
