Robert "Bobby" Marra is seconds away from hauling in an interception in the Class AAA state title game the Indians would win in 1979 against St. Albans.

In the mud at muck at Hite Field, John Pinti gets ready to kick what was definitely the biggest extra point of the year for the Indians and among the most critical in Bridgeport High School history. The kick was good and proved to be the winning points in a 7-6 victory against a Parkersburg team most thought they couldn't beat. History proved otherwise.
