Everyone - We could use a lot of prayers for Coach Prescott and his family. In short: Accident. Head trauma. Need some help please. This guy has consistently put these kids first and foremost.

2021 will be a season dedicated to Pete Rosengren. BYB travel teams will have this decal on their helmets to honor everything he did for the kids in not only baseball, but in all sports.
Pete’s trademark crooked hat, curled brim, off centered, with a HUGE smile is how he wore it!

I’m going to miss Jason immensely. He made a significant impact on my life. He was a guiding light for the boys he coached. A big thank you to everyone who has helped the Prescott family through Go Fund Me & to those who kept the Prescott family in their thoughts n prayers

Last tournament with this group. I’ll appreciate it & cherish it more as time passes but it was a sour cap to a fantastic weekend in Iowa.
Won 4 games but lost the one that mattered most 4-2 in the championship game
5 games & only 6 runs given up. The team pitching was special!

Senior night for the 5 ladies of the 2023 Varsity volleyball team. Jordan wasn’t able to get cleared (knee) to play at all this season which was beyond difficult for her. But she (and Brooke) were allowed to do an “unofficial honorary” serve to start the match. Forever grateful

The weather wasn’t ideal but it made for an intense football game this morning. The freshman Bulldogs battled back to tie the game 14 to 14 in the 4th quarter. The defense came up big with a fourth down stop with a minute remaining in the game. Way to fight today Bulldogs

Swing bye and support the 14u baseball teams as they compete in the Jason Prescott Memorial tournament at 11:30 & 1:30 at BHS. 10u is 8:30 at Bollow. 11u is 10am at Oroni
It’s been over 3 years since we lost Jason, but his memory & presence is still

JV game at Jacobs HS.
7-6 winner for the Bulldogs. Pretty cool to see Michael’s first HS pitching performance in a closing role in a tight game. Even cooler to see him pitching to Ryan Rodriguez, like the 13u/14u BYB days! Nice safety squeeze as well.

That’s a wrap for this kids sports career. So proud of her for not giving up & working hard after her knee injury last year to get back on the field after missing her Sr season of volleyball. Going to miss watching her compete, but she left us with some great memories

A good Saturday. 75 degrees. Softball and baseball games.

Michael pitches a solid 4 innings and then we get to go watch game 2 of the Varsity double header and get to see a victory and HRs from numerous Bulldogs. And Oke goes deep twice!

Good day for the 2027 boys. Great to watch Michael pitch 4 innings giving up 1 run in a 5-1 win w Finn DePuye closing out the last 3 inn. & awesome to look over & see Loukas (6-2/3) & Colin (1/3) combine for a no hitter in a 1-0 victory. The old team is balling out! I love it

Today we unveiled the alternate “JP Black” jerseys for the 11u team. I love how they turned out. I wish I could say Jason would have loved them but He had a different taste 😂 You’ll also see many of the”JP patches”on many BYB jerseys this year. Let’s get this season started!
