What was your BHS graduating class? Did you have both baccalaureate and commencement ceremonies? What do you remember about that?
I'm a member of the BHS Class of 1965. We had both baccalaureate and commencement -- but I don't remember much about either.
Share some memories of the old grade school. What grade were you in when they opened the new building? Do you remember the first day...or at least the first few weeks?
Big mistake if you left Harmon Field early on Friday night. Even worse if you were a Carey fan.
The Blue Devils, who demolished the Pirates last year, were tied at 28-28 with seconds on the clock.
Then came the big defensive play from the Big Red. BHS tackled Bryce Orians for a 3-yard loss as the Blue Devils were in a punt formation. The big play came with 30 ticks remaining in the game.
With only 6 seconds on the Harmon Field clock, the Pirates' Christian Koch booted a 33-yard field goal.
