Another winning season, another year of learning and growing, a 4th consecutive trip to the Illinois Class 1A State Playoffs. 2007 was a year for the record books and 2008 promises to hold as much or more promise of success for our Hornet Football Program.

With the 2008 season set to begin in about a month, preparations to our facilities and equipment are well under way. We’d like to thank our past members for your support and encourage potential new members to join the ever-growing number of Hornet Football Boosters. Formed in 2004, THE STING SQUAD is a football-specific support group which strives to meet the financial and manpower needs required by a growing, exciting program that continues to excel under the guidance of Head Coach Tom Little and his talented Coaching Staff. Our goals are to work closely with our Coaches and the Administration in creating a supportive, winning environment for the advancement of our football program. From assistance in equipment purchasing and upkeep, field maintenance and preparation, weight room improvements to player recognition programs, THE STING SQUAD strives to perform as the foundation group in the betterment of the entire BC Hornet Football program.
