Bluffton High School artists with their portraits are, from left, Sabina Clingerman, Madison Davis, Rylee Setzer, Anna Edwards, Olivia Smallcomb, and Riley Pearson. Vickie Garmon, BHS art teacher provided the Icon with the photos.
Tyson Shutler and Laykin Garmatter are the 2021 Bluffton High School Jim “Cappy” Clark winners, according to Alex Hanna, BHS athletic director,

Each year’s winners are chosen by the athletic department and coaching staff.
