BBA star quarterback Joey McCoy has been selected the Vermont high school football player of the year
This story by
ALEX ABRAMI as it
appeared in the Burlington Free Press:
The senior is the third Bulldog to receive the honor, which recognizes outstanding athletic excellence as well as high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, according to a news release.
The 6-foot-2, 185-pound McCoy powered BBA to a 10-1 record and the Division I state championship in the program's first season in the state's top division.
McCoy threw for 3,086 yards and 42 touchdowns while adding 844 yards and 14 more scores on the ground in BBA's high-scoring offense. He threw for 16 TD passes in three playoff games as BBA captured the second of back-to-back state crowns (the Manchester school won the D-II title in 2018).

McCoy was also a standout on defense, racking up 100 tackles and picking off four passes from the safety position.
“Joey is a dual threat, and can run and throw with the best, which made him almost impossible to defend,” Mount Anthony coach Chad Gordon said in a statement “What makes him even better is he doesn’t make mistakes. He is accurate, makes the right reads and elevates the play of the team around him.”
McCoy has maintained a weighted grade-point average of 4.74. He also launched BBA's Unified Partners program, supporting athletes with intellectual challenges, and serves as a coach for BBA’s Unified basketball team. He has volunteered locally as part of a fundraising campaign to benefit cancer research, and has donated his time at a homeless shelter and food bank.
McCoy remains undecided upon a collegiate destination.
As a part of Gatorade’s cause marketing platform “Play it Forward,” McCoy has the opportunity to award a $1,000 grant to a local or national youth sports organization of his choosing, the news release said.

Founders Hall Design Update
The 2019-2020 school year will be historic as we will break ground on The Rowland Project, a $20 million transformation of our campus.
The centerpiece of this project is Founders Hall, a 25,000 ft.² center for integrative studies that will bring together English, social studies, a STEAM lab/maker space, and an extraordinary central gathering space and library. It will be located behind the Seminary building, where the maintenance facility currently sits, and the parking lot will become a courtyard that provides a place to relax, connect and appreciate the beauty of our setting at the foot of Equinox Mountain.
Along with a central gathering area and an innovative “neighborhood“ approach to grouping learning spaces, the building will feature a third story space, the Belltower Room, that will feature a view over the Seminary belltower into the valley. The experience inside and outside the building will be extraordinary.
Groundbreaking will be in April 2020 with building completion planned for June 2021.
The design process has been deeply collaborative, with input from students, faculty members, and others, and led by Kyle Murphy, BBA class of 2007, and ZGF Architects, an international design firm. A link

BBA's Model UN Team named to top 25 in the nation for 2018
BBA's Model UN Team was named to the top 25 in the nation for 2018. The team is led by teachers Kendra LaRoche and Tom Von Allmen. An estimated 250,000+ students in every state take part in some sort of MUN simulation throughout the academic year, with over 250 conferences working to provide unique and insightful experiences.
Model United Nations (MUN) is a student simulation of the proceedings of the United Nations. Students, referred to as Delegates, are assigned a country to represent in one of the UN’s numerous committees with pre-set topics to debate. They research the background of their country, their country's position on the topics at hand, and prepare notes on possible solutions to the problems faced. Students then convene at Model UN conferences, to debate their assigned topics with students representing the other UN member states. Much like the real UN, the goal is to identify solutions, by negotiation and consensus, on which many countries can agree.

Burr and Burton are Division II Football State Champions
Below is a story Posted
Saturday,
November 10, 2018
8:57 pm
By Adam Aucoin, Bennington Banner
RUTLAND — After two seasons of disappointing endings, Burr and Burton football finally got its storybook finish.
Behind a potent offensive attack and locked in defensive effort, BBA cruised to a 63-14 win against Fair Haven in the Division II state championship game Saturday.
The title is the Bulldogs' second in the last four seasons, as BBA set a Vermont state record with its point output, breaking U-32's mark of 62 in a D-IV title game in 2006.
BBA was determined to finish this season on its own terms and write the ending they missed out on in the last two years.
"I told the guys that if we are able to finish the way we are capable of it's going to be the best feeling they'll ever have," said Bulldogs coach Jason Thomas. "This one feels really good. Fair Haven has always been a huge milestone for us. We came here to play. There's no let up. The kids didn't come in here over-confident and just went to work."
Joey McCoy was the star on the offensive side for the Bulldogs combining for seven touchdowns through the air and on the ground. McCoy, a dual-threat signal caller, threw four touchdown passes and for 289 yards, while picking up three scores and 123 yards in the rushing game.
"It feels amazing. I know the last couple of years have been disappointments," McCoy said. "To come out and win it for our fans and the players, it means the world."
BBA wasted little time taking control of Saturday's final. After a three-and-out on the Slaters' first drive. BBA marched down the field 75 yards on seven plays. Jake Baker finished off the drive with a two-yard touchdown run. Following a Fair Haven fumble that was recovered by BBA, the Bulldogs proceeded to do the same exact thing and Baker ran in another from two yards. The senior back went on to rack up three touchdowns on the day, with the final one coming on a McCoy touchdown pass.
BBA's next three scores came on McCoy touchdown runs of 23, 23 and one yard respectively. A touchdown pass from McCoy to John Morgantini put the bow on a 43-0 lead that BBA took into the half. Morgantini caught two more touchdowns in the second half. His longest grab of the day came in the third quarter when McCoy threw a beautiful floating pass that landed perfectly in Morgantini's arms and went for a score.
While the BBA offense produced time after time, the Bulldogs' defense went to work keeping the potent Slaters offense in check.
An obvious goal for BBA heading into the title game Saturday was slowing down Fair Haven quarterback Cam Coloutti, who has been shredding defenses all season long.
While Coloutti did throw for 243 yards and a pair of touchdowns late, the Bulldogs pressured him all game long and forced him into mistakes, especially in the first half.
The pressure from the BBA defense caused him to make some tough throws and the Bulldogs secondary took advantage, picking off a pair of his passes. Patrick Forstmann intercepted a pass on the Slaters' first drive of the second half and Morgantini picked off Coloutti on the second drive.
"We knew what we had to do and stop Coloutti and his pass game," McCoy said. "That was our key to success to win this game."
The Bulldogs were locked in on all three phases - offense, defense and special teams - and it showed in a big way.
"Defense, offense and special teams, we knew how important it was to worry about ourselves and not them," Baker said. "We came out flying around. Everybody was around the ball all the time and it was awesome."
The stands were filled all game long with Bulldog pride. As their team dominated on the field, it seemed like the whole town of Manchester could be heard at Rutland High School Saturday.
Thomas saw where this program was when he took over in 2008 and to see where it is now, he could not be more proud of his team and their town.
"When I first got to BBA, nobody knew anything about football. They had nine consecutive losing seasons after starting the program in 1999," Thomas said. "[Manchester] has embraced our program and embraced our kids. I would like to think that we're kind of turning a corner and getting a lot more people's support in what we're doing and I really appreciate that."
