Run, run, run then run some more. "Run ‘til you puke" is their team motto.
The Banks County High School cross county teams have been doing just that in preparation for their first meet on Sept. 1 at Habersham Central High School in Mt. Airy.
During a recent practice Coach Kelly McDuffie sent the runners out on the course to get an idea of how they were doing.
The top Leopard runners were Tuan Pham, Jake Schaefer, Harris Day, Graham White, Dylon Bonilla, Gatlin Boswell and Bobby Nguyen. Francisco Hurtado is expected to return to the lineup after recovering from a recent sickness. The top Lady Lepoard runners were Carli Broome, Hannah brown, Maggie McCoy, MaKayla Hewell and Marissa Lewis. The girls team is young with three of the top five being ninth graders for BCHS.

Lady Leopards fall to third-ranked team
After a standout tournament last weekend to open the season for the Banks County High School softball team, the Lady Leopards hosted Union County, the number 3-ranked team in Class AA.
In the sub-region opener for 2011, Union County would defeat BCHS 10-1.
In the first inning, the Lady Leopards set down Union County in order. BCHS then came to bat and scored one run but left the bases loaded. That would prove to be the best scoring opportunity of the contest for the Lady Leopards. [Full Story »]

BCMS to compete in new league
Banks County Middle School athletic teams will compete in a new league beginning with the 2011-2012 school year.
"As far as our middle school athletic program goes, we are extremely excited to be entering into a new athletic league," said BCMS athletic director Steven Shedd.
The new league is called the "Northeast Georgia Athletic League.”
Schools in the league will include Banks County, Jefferson, East Jackson, West Jackson, and King's Bridge.
The sports currently sanctioned in the league this school year are basketball, cross country, softball, football, golf and track. One benefit of the new league is that it will cut down on travel and will also setup natural rivalries between the league schools as they are all located relatively close to one another.
The fall sports teams will be working hard to prepare for their seasons very soon and expect a lot of great success from the football, softball, cross country and cheerleading teams, said Shedd.
"We have great coaches and student athletes at our middle school that give 100 percent of their time and effort,” the BCMS athletic director said. “We hope that all of our Leopard fans in the community will come out to show their support for all our middle school sports teams throughout the school year.”
