The BCHS Tiger Baseball team suffered a 19-9 defeat against Greenwood on Wednesday during their Florida road trip. Meanwhile, University of Kentucky basketball player Collin Chandler has entered the transfer portal, becoming the sixth Wildcat to do so this offseason.

Why it matters

High school and college sports teams often use spring break trips to face tougher out-of-state competition and prepare for the second half of their seasons. Chandler's transfer is part of a broader trend of players seeking new opportunities through the NCAA's transfer portal.

The details

The Tigers' loss to Greenwood came during their annual spring break trip to Panama City Beach, Florida. They will play one more game against Ballard Memorial before returning home. At the University of Kentucky, sophomore guard Collin Chandler has entered the transfer portal after averaging 9.7 points per game this past season. He is the sixth Wildcat player to enter the portal, joining Malachi Moreno who has declared for the NBA draft but may return to school, and Kam Williams who has announced he will return to UK.

  • The BCHS Tigers played Greenwood on Wednesday, April 8, 2026 in Panama City Beach, Florida.
  • The Tigers will play their final Florida game later today, April 9, 2026, against Ballard Memorial.
  • Collin Chandler entered the transfer portal on April 8, 2026.
