RAWSON - Bluffton lost a seesaw nailbiter at Cory-Rawson 36-35 in a Div. IV girls basketball sectional semifinal Wednesday night to end their season in heartbreaking fashion.

Hornet Libby McVetta sank a game-winning three-pointer from out top to foil the Lady Pirate comeback effort.

C-R ran out to an early five-point lead after a Zoe Chisholm corner triple. The hosts led the Pirate girls 7-2 after a very low-scoring first period of play. 

Bluffton stormed back with a 16-point second stanza to grab an 18-15 intermssion lead.

This is from the winter school newsletter 
It hardly seems possible that we have reached the halfway mark of the 2020-2021 school year, especially due to all the changes this pandemic has caused.

Even through all this, I am constantly amazed by the talented work ethic that our students, teachers, and staff possess. Throughout the year, our students have been excelling in a variety of ways including academics, music, athletics, and leadership skills.
