The BCHS football team, undefeated during the regular season, was crowned the 2023 3A State Champion with a 35-7 win over Heritage Hills on Nov. 24. This was a record 17th title for the BCHS Trojans.

The team started the game on the first drive with a 12 play rushing/pass offense that drove 76 yards and used 5:06 minutes of the quarter, resulting in a touchdown by Riley Kennett.

Kinnett had 158 yards rushing for the game and a 3A state-record-tying four touchdowns, 3 of those behind the left offensive line led by Harrison Campebll.

The defense allowed Heritage Hills to cross the midfield just three times in the game and, until the final 2 minutes, to have only one chance to score, which ended in an interception by Colin Guy at the Chatard 10.

Besides Kinnett, top performers were Guy who had three interceptions, tying an all-state-finals record, and led the Trojans in receiving with six catches for 66 yards; Sam Feeney, linebakcer, with a team-high 10 tackles and Matthew Woods, nose tackle, with eight tackles. *
