Bryan Station High School, founded in 1958, is a high school within the Fayette County Public Schools system in Lexington, Kentucky. During the 2006-2007 school year, students were moved to their newly built school known as Bryan Station High. The school was named for Bryan Station, an 18th-century pioneer settlement. The school mascot is the Defender in reference to the defense of the settlement during the American Revolutionary War.
Athletics
The Defenders support 15 different sports teams including football, basketball, soccer, baseball, wrestling, rowing, skiing, softball, volleyball, tennis, swimming and track and field. The Defenders' football team won the 1971 2A title. The Defenders' boys track team took home titles in 1971, 1975, and 1979-83 while the Lady Defenders' track team won titles in 1976-79, 1981–82, and 1987–88. Athletic teams typically play against other teams from Fayette County, including Henry Clay High School, Lafayette High School, Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, and Tates Creek High School.
Bryan Station boy's basketball players appears to have been involved in an incident on 12/28/2014[1] with Betsy Lane player Dalton Maldonado.[2][3] At least one Bryan Station player allegedly called Maldonado a homophobic slur, members of the team allegedly pursued Betsy Lane players outside the building, allegedly attacked their bus, and allegedly pursued the bus back to the Betsy Lane hotel. Police allegedly had to be called to protect the Betsy Lane players and others at the hotel. Bryan Station has apparently made no official public comment.
