They did manage to throw 2 shutouts, while being backed by double-digits in runs in both games. Their biggest win of the year was a slugfest, as they convincingly defeated Pottstown 17-1 on May 6th, the 2nd to last game of the season.

A very up and down season for the Lady Bears as they dropped 10 of 15 games in the 2019 season. Tough PAC play kept the girls from advancing, but they did not go down without a fight. On average, the girls lost each game by less than 1 goal which is pretty impressive, but didn’t result in wins. It was a tough season for the team, but there are several upsides to the team moving forward in 2020.

Boys Track: 2-3

Julian Sanders, Jamie Moccia, and Peyton Stanziani all earned medals at the PAC Track Championships.

The boys season was an improvement from last year where they only won one meet. One of the highlights of the season was the upset victory over Methacton to start out the season. This win was Boyertown’s first win over Methacton in almost ten years. The bears finished in 3rd place in the PAC championship. A major issue for the runners were injuries, as numerous runners went down in key points. The bears will be looking to improve their record and stay healthy.

Girls Track: 1-4

4×8 Relay Team, Rachanee Tith, Beatrice Stringa, Morgan Janiuk, and Maddy Hunsberger, won 3rd place at the PAC Track Championship.
