BC coach Carl Ferreira said the team can readily look forward to competing for the state championships. Ferreira also said that the team always relishes the "smaller intermediate" games as well.
BC lost 3-0 to L.A. Pierce on Friday and has an overall record of 4-4 and 0-2 in the Western State Conference.
Ferreira says the team wishes to "decrease unforced errors" and "improve attack efficiency." Ferreira stated that the team's "toughest" challenger was El Camino College.
"We lost in 5," Ferreira said. "That's tough."
Nevertheless, the team ranked third in the state.
The team won 3-0 against Oxnard Oct. 3 and beat Moorpark 3-1 Oct. 6 with 635 kills.and 249 hit errors. The team lost to Cuesta 3-0 Oct. 10 and lost to Citrus Oct. 17. The team will face Glendale College Oct. 27, College of the Canyons Oct. 31 as well as Citrus again Nov. 3.

Coach Scott Dameron said his team continues to set high goals and show continuing "improvement" in game performance.
Speaking of the team's challenges, Dameron said, "what I like about the games is that the teams (we face) are good; there are no easy games, and there are no hard games. We have to prepare for every game."
Central defender and sophomore Maira Juarez stated that the team was "pulling through." The team's weakness, Juarez said is in "finishing." Nevertheless, the team's strength, Juarez said, lies in its "defense" abilities.
Freshman Lisa Smart, center midfielder, said that "there were injuries, but we worked through it."
Smart agrees with Juarez that the team's greatest asset lies in its "defense."
However, Smart stated that the team's weakness appears to be "communication."
"It's not like we're mean; it's not like that, but we don't talk well," she said.
The team lost 2-1 against Citrus Oct. 3 at BC, but the team won 5-1 against L.A. Valley at BC Oct. 6. The Renegades played to scoreless tie with Pierce last Friday. They are 5-7-5 overall and 1-3-3 in the WSC South.
The team will play an away game at Citrus Oct. 27, as well as an away game at L.A. Valley Oct. 31. The team will challenge Glendale Nov. 2 at BC.
