BRV66 MATES

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? WE CAME TOGETHER AS A CLASS AND SCHOOL, 50 YEARS AGO.
WE WILL BE PLANNING OUR 50TH CLASS REUNION FOR THIS SUMMER AROUND THE MOORELAND FAIR TIME IN AUGUST.
COMMITTEES HAVE BEEN FORMED, AND PLANS ARE BEING MADE.

TO CELEBRATE THE 50TH FOR THE FIRST, AND ONLY, BRV UNDEFEATED BASKETBALL TEAM IN BRV HISTORY, AND THE ONLY TEAM IN THE ENTIRE STATE TO GO UNDEFEATED THAT 64-65 SEASON, THE TEAM WAS INDUCTED INTO THE BRV HALL OF FAME LAST FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2016, AT THE BRV BASKETBALL GAME. MOST OF THE MEMBERS OF THAT AWARD-WINNING TEAM WERE ABLE TO ATTEND.
I AM DEEPLY SORRY THAT I COULD NOT MAKE IT. (MY WIFE IS HAVING SOME HEALTH ISSUES, AND I JUST COULD NOT LEAVE HER).

I TOLD A COUPLE OF OUR TEAMMATES THAT MOST PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE AT THE GAME WERE NOT EVEN ALIVE WHEN WE WERE BREAKING RECORDS THAT YEAR. THE ONE'S WHO COULD REMEMBER OUR TEAM MAY NOT EVEN "REMEMBER" OUR TEAM…… OR HAVE PASSED.

WE HAVE LOST 3 MEMBERS OF THAT TEAM FROM 50 YEARS AGO (BILLY SNODGRASS, DANNY DOBBS, BOBBY RANSDELL)….THEY ARE SORELY MISSED.

I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE FROM THAT FIRST BRV TEAM…….

CONGRATS TO THE PLAYERS, COACHES, CHEERLEADERS, AND THE BEST FANS A PLAYER COULD WISH FOR…… WE DID IT!

Larry Cooper, BRV66 CLASS PRESIDENT…….

SEE YOU IN AUGUST
