Bexley High School is a public high school located in Bexley, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. It is the only high school in Bexley City Schools. In 2017, The National Center for Education Statistics named BHS the top public high school in Central Ohio, 2nd best in Ohio, and 62nd nationally.
Bexley runs a comprehensive athletics program, including teams in the following areas: Football, Basketball, Baseball, Cheerleading, Cross Country, Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Soccer, Softball, Swimming, Tennis, Track, Volleyball and Wrestling. Bexley purchased artificial grass for athletes to perform on in the winter of 2003. Teams have won Ohio High School Athletic Association State Championships in:
BHS hired Bexley native Eli Goldberger as AD in 2016. [8]
In 2016 the program earned its first home playoff game and first playoff win and went 11-1. The program also earned a playoff spot in the 2008, 2013, 2014, and 2015 seasons, all under Coach John Smith.
After the 2016 season Coach Smith resigned, citing the need to spend more time with his family. As his replacement, Nathan Castorena took over the Lions. [9]
After setting a school record for wins in the 2007 season, going 25-2, and ending the season as Regional runners-up, Bexley has had few successful seasons since. Reasons for this include lack of a consistent coaching staff, and a competitive league. Bexley has continued to improve over the past few years and expects to do well in the near future.
Both the Men's and Women's soccer programs are outstanding, and are widely known around the state and region. Between the men and the women they have combined for 12 State Final Fours since 1999.
The men's team has won two state championships in its history (2003 and 2005) and have had multiple Final Four and Regional Final finishes. They have also had a flurry of All District, All State, and two All-Americans selection (Daniel Broidy '08 and Jacob Hodge '12). The Men's program won their league championship for 15 straight seasons, until the streak was snapped in 2008. The team was formerly coached by former Bexley player and OWU graduate Greg Kullman and is currently coached by Brian Stoddard.
The women have been one of the most consistent teams, regardless of sport (in the state) since coach Scott Dempsey took over. They were state finalists in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006,State Runners-up in 1999, and State Champions in 2009 (although they were defeated in the championship game, the opposing team was playing with an ineligible player, forcing them to forfeit the championship). The Women have also had multiple All District, All State, and All American recipients. The team is currently coached by Ryan Leven.
