On September 20th, our Blue Hose football team took on the Bluefield College Rams from Bluefield Virginia. This at home match was an overwhelming victory, with the Blue Hose winning seventy six (76) to three (3) leading them to their first 4-0 record since 1959! That wasn’t the only record touched last weekend, as this game is now ranked third in terms of points in school history with the second being 84 points back in 2021, and the first being 101 points back in 1914. As if this being our first 4-0 record in 66 years, we are also currently the only college football team in South Carolina to hold a 4-0 record.
