Buckaroos introduced at annual Meet the Bucks event
The Breckenridge community had the opportunity to “Meet the Bucks” at the annual spirit event on Friday evening, Aug. 18.
Breckenridge High School hosted Meet the Bucks at Buckaroo Stadium, introducing the 2023-24 football, volleyball and cross country teams, as well as the cheerleaders, band, coaches, booster club, sports media crew, FFA flag crew, helmet crew and school district administration. Additionally, this year’s Buckaroo Queen and Great Lord Chamberlain were announced.
The BHS students voted on the Buckaroo Queen and Great Lord Chamberlain last week, and the results were finalized Friday morning. Chloe Whitmire was chosen as the 2024 Buckaroo Queen, and Riyaj Neupane was chosen as Great Lord Chamberlain. The Buckaroo Queen is traditionally crowned in the annual coronation ceremony in January.
The varsity Buckaroo football team will play their first game of the season on Friday, Aug. 25, in Jacksboro. The game is schedule to begin at 7 p.m., which is 30 minutes earlier than originally planned. BISD Athletic Director Casey Pearce said that Jacksboro High School changed the time so that it matches the starting time of their district games.
