High School Beat: Park Slope’s BCS Lions baseball team ready to roar
With all the hoopla surrounding the recently completed high school basketball season and Brooklyn sports enthusiasts locked in on the Nets’ run toward their first playoff berth in six seasons, it stands to reason that the local varsity baseball campaign gets lost in the shuffle at times.
Not at Park Slope’s Berkeley Carroll School, where the defending Athletic Conference of Independent Schools champions are off and running in their quest to make a serious bid for the Private School State Championship later this spring.
“Our goals are always the same: win the regular season, playoffs and be healthy and make another run [at the state championship],” longtime BCS coach Walter Paller told the Eagle on Tuesday afternoon after his team scored an impressive 8-1 victory over Bay Ridge’s Xaverian High School at the Bay Parkway Narrows Complex last weekend.
