Boys' night out tonight
Last week it was girls’ night out. Tonight it’s boys’ night out.
The 2019 Bluffton High School Division III state runner-up boys’ soccer team will be honored during a ceremony tonight (Friday, Feb. 7) during halftime of the high school boys’ basketball game vs. Allen East.
In case you’ve forgotten, the BHS boys’ team finished a historic season at 18-3-2. A crowd of 6,542 watched the Pirates in the Division III state finals versus Columbus Wellington. Click for the state final story.
Last Friday Pirate fans recognized the 1999-2000 girls’ Division III state runner-up.
Here's the boys' team photo taken at the beginning of the soccer season.
