🏀💙 Congratulations to BHRA Blue Devil, Ella, on receiving the 2026 Dick & Rita Atha Sportsmanship Award for Girls Basketball! 💙🏀
After competing against BHRA during the Benton Central Holiday Tournament, the Benton Central Girls Basketball Captain selected Ella for her integrity, leadership, and outstanding sportsmanship both on and off the court.
This prestigious award has been presented for 34 years, and according to Benton Central’s Athletic Department, Ella is the first BHRA athlete to ever receive this honor!
Ella’s commitment to encouraging teammates, mentoring younger players, and leading with kindness truly reflects what it means to be a Blue Devil. We are incredibly proud of the example she sets through her character and heart for others.
A huge thank you to Benton Central for the thoughtful recognition and hospitality shown to Ella and her family.
Way to represent BHRA with class, Ella! 👏💙 #BHRA #BlueDevils #Sportsmanship #OnceADevilAlwaysADevil

Mrs. Tidwell's US History classes took a trip to the Vermilion County War Museum this week. Tour guides did a wonderful job showing students interesting artifacts about the residents of this area and the wars they fought in. It was nice to see things students had learned about this year in person. Thank you VCWM for your hospitality. The students enjoyed their trip!
