O-G staves off Pirate upset bid with 4th period run

Posted by Staff on December 9, 2023 - 7:18am

Note from BHS athletic director Alex Hanna: 

“Both O-G and Bluffton participated in the Eli Jones student section theme, where we remembered the Bluffton sophomore who tragically lost his life this week. 

“His passing has left a hole in the heart of the Bluffton community. Eli was a son, a brother, and a friend to so many.  

“For those who didn't know Eli, there is one word we can use to describe him and that is "good," he was a good friend, good teammate, good student, from a good family. We lost a good one this week. 

“Huge thank you to the Titan Boys Basketball team for donating over $300 to the Eli Jones Memorial Fund.”
