There's another Pirate team to watch - looks like good sailing ahead for these girls
The plot thickens.
On March 4 the Icon posted the team photo of the Bluffton seventh grade boys' basketball team. That team won the Northwest Conference basketball title.
Here's chapter two: It's the same story with the Bluffton eighth grade girls' team, who finished the season 15-1 and a 3-0 tournament record. (This team has back-to-back trophies in the trophy case.)
This means, somewhere between the next season and 2019-20 basketball seasons these girls will become household names in Bluffton.
Front row: Katie Prater, Kailey Mault, Mara Minnig.
Back row: Coach Dan Smith, Ashley Eachus, Emma Klinger, Averey Rumer, Alivia Koenig, Kennedy Coughlan, Kylee Staley and ball girl Celia Smith.
