Bluford-Farrington JH Baseball fans, when you're baseball player brings home his schedule this year you will note our home game start time is a little different than what you are used to in the past. This was due to a late necessity. Some games will start at 5, others 5:30 according to what the opponent could allow for. Away games had to remain at the original starting time due to our joint transportation. 2 JH SB start times were also affected so check your softballers schedule. Enjoy a great Junior Trojan and Junior Lady trojan season.
The IHSA dead period will be over Monday Aug 7. To that means, our HS BB team will have practices Monday Aug 7-Friday Aug.11 6:30-8:30pm. There will also be a mandatory HS BB parent/guardian meeting Thursday Aug. 10, 6pm at the field. Contact Coach Strain for more information.
