Hoco Pep Rally

Crowning of the King

All the boys celebrate David's win!

The marching band is coming off their highest scoring season in school history last year, and has already started with their highest first competition score ever this year. They have three competitions coming in October where they hope to bring home some trophies to Burrell. Even with those trophies, the highlight of each season is playing "Tequila" with the student section and cheering for the Bucs!

The Burrell cheerleaders have had an excellent season this year. They’ve had a lot of fun memories so far, including jamming on the bus, Applebee’s runs, and praying they don’t get trampled while the football boys run through their sign every Friday night. The girls have been doing great learning and participating in new stunts and dances. They are all excited to start competing this season and love supporting the Burrell Bucs. They wish the boys luck tonight and are hoping for a big win. 

The boys golf team had a year to remember…finishing 3rd in the section and just falling short of WPIAL team playoffs. Led by low scorer junior Tucker Bitar, the team put it all out there every match. Bitar and senior Chantz Watkins both qualified for the WPIAL individual playoffs at Willowbrook Country Club, Tucker making it through to the final round being held on Monday at the Butler Country Club. Congrats on a great year for the Bucs golf team. Also shout out to Tucker Bitar for getting a hole in one!!

The girls tennis team had a great season. Beating teams like Kiski, Valley, Highlands, Mount Pleasant, and Riverview made a successful season for the Bucs.  The team definitely had the best food this year, including the North Park Lounge trip, which made the season even better.  The team finished off the season with Jessica Stull and Meadow Wlodarczyk competing in section singles and Anna Clark, Meadow Wlodarczyk, Jessica Stull, and Alexa Armando playing in section doubles.  Congrats to the girls on a great season!  

Small in numbers, but mighty in spirit! While only having 6 girls, the cross country team has crushed their PRs and is only getting faster! The Lady Bucs have had a fun season so far, going out to eat after races and taking fun pictures. The girls are hoping to have qualifiers for the state championship, with seniors Grace Nesko, and Catherine Scherer being close to qualifying spots. The boys have had a successful season as well, with Alex Platt medaling in every race! Sophomore Andrew Beveridge and Freshman Cam Perry have had great PRs as well! The Bucs are ready to run fast and have a blast for the rest of the season!

The boys soccer team has had an outstanding season so far with a record of 9-1. Led by senior captains Ryan Croushore, Jayson Ireland, Luke Guerrini, Hadyn Herbulock, and Cam Wagner; the Bucs may not be nominated for homecoming, but hand them some crowns cause these kings are sitting alone at the top of their section. With wins against Springdale and Winchester Thurston, the boys clinched a playoff spot easily: and now have their eyes set on the Section Title.  GO BUCS!

The lady bucs soccer team has had a successful and promising season so far.  With a huge win over Knoch again and their eyes on the section champ prize, they are looking forward to their comeback game against Freeport.  With Frank "The Tank" Nesko coaching and a talented group of warriors, the girls soccer team has even more attitude, passion, and goals on their road to Highmark.  Come out to support them on Wednesday, October 4th for their senior night against Deer Lakes.

The girls volleyball team has had an exciting and successful season so far remaining third in the sections with only two losses. With the rest of the season and playoffs ahead, the bucs are looking forward to working hard and maintaining and succeeding their spot in the section.
