On Saturday, February 20th the Boyce Bulldogs took a few minutes before the match-up with Welch College to honor Senior Sam Kays.
Senior Sam Kays has been a part of Boyce Basketball for the past three years. Throughout his time at Boyce Sam has worked extremely hard, competed daily and been an example of the Lord. His heart for God shows through in all he does along with his heart for others. He loves the game of basketball and has a high basketball IQ which has been helpful as he has mentored younger teammates throughout his time here. Sam will be missed in the program. The Coaching staff is thankful for Sam and all he has done for the program.
