There's a first for everything.

For Bluffton, it was a regional championship.

The Tigers are red-hot. Morgan unlocked the best version of himself. They're clicking at the right time.

It was a successful night for Eli Bertsch in the high jump, qualifying for state next week.

Current views of the Bluffton Thrower's showcase.

The only thing @SebastianBaxter isn't doing right is controlling the weather. The rest has been a great event.

The Bluffton girls are partying like it's 2001. That's the last time they won the sectional.

The boys ended a run of five straight, finishing second.

And a new star continues to shine for Southern Wells, with Carpenter winning two conf. titles.
