Junior Mason Soper ripped a steal and made the game winning bucket at the buzzer pushing Bluffton to a thrilling 57-55 victory at Van Buren! Bluffton improved to 3-0 on the season and finally gets a home game against reigning conference champion Crestview Friday night.
The Bluffton Icon named Jean Ann Szabo, 91, resident of Maple Crest, recipient of the Icon’s Zuzu’s Petals Award.
The award comes following the Icon’s invitation to viewers to nominate who they believe is Bluffton’s greatest musician, or modestly put, a great musician who well-deserves the recognition.
This year’s recognition comes following the Icon’s free showing of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” at the Shannon Theatre on Nov. 23.
