Mixture of Beavers and Pirates
Here's a "one-of-a-kind" Bluffton High School boys' basketball team. It's the 1964-65 season and is the first-ever for the combined school districts of Bluffton and Beaverdam. Interesting to note that there are five Beaverdam players and five Bluffton players.
Somewhere in the past the identity of a "Bluffton" student and "Beaverdam" student disappeared. But during the first few school years from '64 on, you were identified by one or the other community.
The idenity of the players is listed under the photo. Mark Covert was the coach. This team finished 11-6, which was the finest overall showing since the 1957 team. This squad finished in a three-way tie for second place in the NWC.
