Watch out for these undefeated Pirates - we have lots to look forward to!
Somewhere between the 2016-17 and 2019-20 basketball seasons these guys will become household names in Bluffton. Right now they are Bluffton seventh graders. This season, the basketball team coached by Ryan Dunlap went 19-0, winning the Northwest Conference.
In an understatement, Dunlap told the Icon that this was a dream season. All Pirate fans are following that dream.
