2021 Season Recap
The 2021 season was one with many procedures and challenges in place. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, a shortened season was required where the team only played half of their normal season. The bears, playing with only two seniors, competed in the highly competitive Mountain 7 District and finished with wins over the Ridgeview Wolfpack. Seniors Brody Gibson and Zach Mullins would each play their final games as Bears during the 2021 season. The Bears would reach the Mountain 7 Tournament quarterfinals where they would fall to regional participant Wise Central by a run to conclude their season.
