Boys’ Swimmers sing the budget cut blues
Despite the recent announcement of the possible cut of the Swim and Dive program, the boys swim team is having the best season in its short history.
They currently hold a record of six wins and one loss in dual meets. There biggest challenge will be Monticello, who they are hosting on Thursday, January 29, at the BCMS pool. Monticello has many good swimmers but Buffalo has many younger swimmers who can take thirds, fourths, and fifths and hopefully win the meet. Their depth will greatly help them in their battle against the rival “Magic.”

One of their strong younger swimmers, Jack Elliott, says “We got a heck of a shot, it’ll be tough, but we got a shot.”
Even with the potential cut of their team, the Bison are swimming strong and are looking on the bright side, if it is their last season they hope to go out with a bang. The meet starts at 6 p.m. at BCMS pool, and will be a show for all ages. You won’t want to miss it.
