News

 

Former Blackcat AD Lupe Florez has passed away.  Coach Florez was a tremendous supporter of our swimming program.  He will be greatly missed.

The 2014-15 season ended without a team or coach.  Bay City HS was not present for the 2015 district championships.  Coach Florez made certain that Bay City would have a team the following year, bringing yours truly out of retirement and expressing 100% support for BCHS swimming & diving.

He also allowed us to add a junior high program.  Lupe attended our district meet in Victoria as a volunteer timer.  He was genuinely impressed with our kids at that meet - one in which we had a freshman, Hannah Sliva, win the 500 free.

A memorial service is schedule for Saturday, December 9, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.:

National Hall SPJST Lodge 92
3316 Roberts Cut-Off Rd.
Fort Worth, TX  76114

Cards & condolences to:

The Lupe Florez Family
13861 Raceway Dr., Apt. 1422
Northlake, TX  76262

I've been trying to shake an illness for past couple of weeks - I'm at around 80% right now.

Was unable to open gate this a.m.  I let Kelly & Mark know the code wasn't working.  Hoping we'll be able to get in this afternoon.

Note evening workout times will change in December.

Exam week practices are "TBA" on schedule.  I'll update those soon.
