Bridgeport High School varsity football starts Friday with an away contest at Buckhannon-Upshur High School.
Connect-Bridgeport’s Jeff Toquinto will be following the Tribe throughout the season, bringing you the action via interim scoring updates and plenty of post-game coverage.
To coincide with the season’s coverage – and add an element of nostalgia – Connect-Bridgeport is featuring a “Now and Then” video series. To run weekly in conjunction with Indian action, the series will showcase back-to-back video interviews – one with a current BHS senior player and one with a former player – spanning a 40-plus year span.
The video series will deliver some interesting facts about Indians from years gone by. They will share what they are doing professionally and tell us about their families. And, of course, there will be plenty of game stories featuring everything from fumbles to record runs; not to mention vivid memories of coaches and their winning strategies.
On the flipside, “Now and Then” will introduce us to senior members of The Tribe; the position each plays, what drives them to be part of the Indian football team and even some of the former players who inspired them.
The facilitating of these videos has likewise been a team effort. The series was Connect-Bridgeport Board President Drew Pomeroy's brainchild, but Julie Perine did the interviewing (former players here in the Connect-Bridgeport offices and current players on the turf during BHS football media day) and Natalie Aliff paired the players, edited the videos and added some nice touches that add a little power to the punch.
Along with “Now and Then” sponsor Quality Machine Co., Inc., we hope you will enjoy this weekly series. It is intended to fuel the fire of community spirit that is known to stand behind our team and perhaps teach you a few things you didn’t already know about the Indian football program – past and present. Tune in to catch it all and see who’s been paired up to star in the series as a two-man team.
It all starts at noon Friday here at Connect-Bridgeport.com.
