Important note from Nurse Joy regarding Immunization Requirements:

If your child is going into their senior year (2nd meningococcal), 7th grade (TDAP & Meningococcal #1) or Kindergarten (kindergarten boosters) they are due for vaccines. If they have not received these vaccines you can contact your healthcare provider or The Williams County Health Department for an appointment. These vaccines are required by the state of Ohio for school attendance.

The Golden Bear Sports Network is thrilled to share the success of our 2024-25 season with you. This past year, we broadcasted 65 regular season and playoff contests, with 60 of those featuring both video and radio streams. It was a busy but rewarding year as GBSN brought coverage to Golden Bear Nation, spreading our Purple Wave far and wide.

With the new school year approaching, we are gearing up for another ambitious season. Our goal is to broadcast 50 regular season games and as many playoff games as possible. However, we can only achieve this with the support of incredible sponsors like you. Although GBSN is a student program at BCS, we are entirely self-funded through commercial and sponsorship sales.

If you’d like to become a GBSN sponsor and help us in our mission to bring Golden Bear Nation the best high school sports coverage in the area, please reach out to Chris Malanga at 419-633-6235 or cmalanga@bryanschools.net.
