Gate Fee's
Parents, please be aware that admission fees for the 2024-25 academic year have increased due to new pricing set by the Catholic High School League. The league-wide admission price is now $10 cash at the gate, driven by rising referee fees, which have increased by up to 80% in some cases. This pricing is mandated by the league, and BFC does not control these gate prices. However, attendees can pay a discounted rate of $8 by purchasing tickets in advance at Gofan.co. For families with multi-season athletes, purchasing an Athletic Pass may be a significant cost-saver, as it bypasses the by-event gate fee. To learn more about the Athletic Pass, please see the information below or contact Mike Maltese at maltese@bishopfoley.org. We appreciate your understanding and continued support of Venture Athletics. Thank you for cheering on our student-athletes!

What’s missing is a ‘W.’ The same is true about the Foley United hockey team. It has collected three ‘L’s so far, with no W’s. Foley United increased its goal production in a game to three in its 7 – 3 loss to Grand Blanc. Foley also upped its shots on goal in a game to an early season high of 22. The game was played Saturday at Lindell Arena. “We got pucks on net. We’re putting some of the puzzle pieces together,” said Foley Head Coach John Cynowa.The second period was bad news for Foley. Grand Blanc scored five goals in the second period to tack onto its 1 - 0 lead from the first period. Foley scored two of its three goals in the game in the second period to close the gap.
