As the Golden Hawks return to the nest for the 2025-26 school year, they continue to take pride in their tight-knit community and soar into every opportunity.

Overall, Becahi athletes have a lot to show for their hard work. From the lifts in the offseason to practices every day, the girls’ volleyball and football teams have put Bethlehem Catholic’s name in the forefront of people’s minds.

The girls volleyball team flew mightily through their regular season undefeated, though this was no easy feat. They racked up astounding wins against their rivals Central Catholic Sept. 15. After a devastating loss in the EPC finals against Emmaus, the girls came back with renewed intensity in their pursuit of the District XI 3A title. In the end, they came out on top, beating Southern Lehigh Oct. 10 in a close, four-game set. Head coach Jessica Attieh said, “Our success came from the girls buying in and showing up every day ready to compete.”

Looking forward to their run at states, the team believed they could take it all. Unfortunately, this dream ended in the quarterfinals against the now state champions, Pope John Paul II. Even so, they move forward with hopeful hearts and remain proud of their season. “They represented our school and community with class, competed with heart, and set a standard for future teams to follow,” said Coach Attieh.

The football team rushed the field, taking the first three wins of the season against East Pennsboro Aug. 23, Emmaus Aug. 29, and Berks Catholic Sept. 9. Ending their regular season with a record of 6-4, the boys were ready and willing to fight for the District XI title.

The team entered post season with the same determination, ended up in the championship once again. On Nov. 13, they came in seeking revenge against Southern Lehigh for their loss in the same match up last year. Even though they did not come away with the win, the team will keep their heads high and build on their strengths for next season. “I hope they finish what we started,” said Alex Dominguez, class of 2026. “I think as a senior class we did a good job starting to get Beca football back on track, back to the ‘golden standard’ it once was. This was a product of family and camaraderie. We won together. We lost together. It was never one person; it was always one team.”

With the fall sports season now behind them, the students can now look forward to girls and boys basketball and wrestling. As the holidays approach, the Golden Hawks are planning various community projects.

Becahi will soon be opening their Little Hawks Christmas show, “Believe” on Dec. 5, 6 and 7. This is a heartfelt story of a teen boy rekindling his love for Christmas with the help of his friends.

The student production team is excited to showcase the talent of these young performers. Not only is it a learning experience, “It is a great opportunity for kids to meet other friends that share a bond over theatre and performing,” said Deidre Michels, class of 2027, “I love seeing it all come together at the end, and watching the kids become their characters while having fun on stage.”

As the Golden Hawks return to the nest, they await all the remaining year has to bring. For more information, visit becahi.org.
