Congrats on the win Bluestem! 30-24 vs Uniontown! Let's keep it up and have a great season! 💙💛🏈🦁
Some Bluestem history was made yesterday when the Lions travelled to Clearwater for their first meet of the season. Reagan Neal broke the Bluestem High School girls' two-mile record with a run of 12:56, placing 1st in her divison. This beat the old record of 13:04 set by Vanessa Fleming in 2002-03. Congratulations, Reagan! Leah LeClef also took home a medal, placing 25th in the girls' 2-mile. Arrow Lande narrowly missed a medal in the 8th-grade girls race, placing 28th, and Joaquin Cox broke his personal best record by almost a full minute in the 2-mile. Great job to all of our runners!
Junior High football final score is Eureka 38-Bluestem 8.
