For clarity sake the boys JH regional is at EWING. One team in it, Spring Garden, could not play on Monday which is what caused the change. Hope that helps clear up a few things.
Bluford Nation, we have a program change. The Boys JH Basketball Regional at Spring Garden now has new dates for us. We play Wednesday Jan. 24 at 7:30 and Friday Jan. 26 at 6:00. Mark your calendars as we go for the 3peat.
Our Girls JH Basketball season came to an end last night in the Allendale Regional. No one wants to see their season end but this team has a lot to be proud of. They finished the year 16-9, played very well in the regular season tournaments they were in , and were seed 4th in a very tough regional. That's quite a season to be proud of. They also saw Edyn Knight score the 1000th point of her JH career. I;d say this year was a success and we look forward to this group in HS.
Put this in the overlooked column. This is long overdue but I want to express how much I appreciate our Booster Clubs and all they do for the schools Athletic Department and me inparticular. I did a staff appreciation last night for all BLUFORD CUSD 318 staff. They deserved it. I had a coupon for all staff in attendance to receive a free bag of popcorn and a pop on the Athletic Department. When I went to settle the tab I was told by booster president not to worry about it, they were thankful I did that and THEY would get the tab. I appreciate that! Throughout the year they are always supplying our staff with goodies, luncheons, things for the classroom and also meet our Athletic needs. They do not receive much help either. Its a lot of the same people over and over again. Talk about a group that deserves an appreciation night. I'm just the A.D. but on behalf of the staff and athletic department here we appreciate you greatly and are very thankfull of all you do. You are special to us.
This is just a reminder that this Friday, January 12th, is a school improvement day, and students will be dismissed at 11:30am.
