The Bethlehem Christian Academy baseball team is not going to overlook David Emanuel.

Knights coach Nick Pou will not allow that to happen.

However, after the season BCA has put together to this point one thing has become very clear: the Knights are going to win the GISA Class A state baseball championship later this week. That prediction, it should be noted, is not coming from Pou or BCA coaches or players. It’s entirely my statement and at this point I’m willing to say I will eat my hat if it doesn’t happen.

The Bethlehem Christian Academy baseball team continued to dominate its postseason opposition last week and is now set for a state semifinal rematch from a season ago.

BCA coach Nick Pou said he and his players are looking forward to the rematch and thinks it will be a “fun” series.

A doubleheader is set for Friday at 1:30 p.m. with a third game, if necessary, on tap for Saturday. All games will be at Knights Field. [Full Story »]

“This was step one,” Pou said. “We are not happy yet. This is just part of the process.” [Full Story »]

The Bethlehem Christian Academy baseball team held on for a 2-1 road victory against Nathanael Greene Academy Tuesday.

The win allowed the Knights to remain undefeated in GISA Region 1-A.

“It was a crazy game,” said BCA coach Nick Pou. “Their pitcher (D.J. Shelnutt) did a good job and we left 14 runners on base. It was just a game where nothing fell for us.”

BCA is now 4-0 in Region 1-A and 9-5-1 overall.

BCA NOTES: Knights senior catcher Matt Masters was scheduled to sign with Young Harris Wednesday morning. Masters has been a key player during the 2012 and 2013 season for the BCA baseball team.

The Bethlehem Christian Academy baseball team got back on the winning side Monday with an 11-1 Region 1-A win against visiting Curtis Baptist.
The victory improved BCA to 3-0 against region foes and was the eighth win overall for the Knights. Senior Jared Martin pitched another strong contest allowing just two hits through five innings.

BCA was without the services of four starters due to disciplinary reasons.

“It gave our younger players a chance to get some experience and step in and help us earn an important region win,” Knights coach Nick Pou said. “Every region win means a great deal. We were glad to earn the win.” [Full Story »]

The Bethlehem Christian Academy baseball team recorded another important win Wednesday, but it came against a backdrop of some unusual circumstances on and off the field.

The Knights defeated defending GISA Class AA state champion Brentwood 7-5 on a day when they allowed 13 walks and left 11 runners on base.

The game was also delayed for approximately an hour so an Air Flight helicopter could land on the baseball field. A new gymnasium is in the early stages of construction on the BCA campus and a worker was seriously injured Wednesday afternoon. Numerous Barrow County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the scene along with several medical personnel and vehicles. [Full Story »]
