-2nd place: Tie between Class of 2026, “Toy Story,” and Class of 2027, “The Lorax”
-3rd place: Class of 2028, “Rio”
The winners of the Mr. and Miss BHS competition are Thomas Woods, senior class president, and Arline Pineda, News Editor for “The Blue and White.”
After the winners of both competitions were announced, the football game was resumed. Despite holding the lead until half time, the varsity Drillers ultimately lost their homecoming match against BCHS 23-24.
