By Dick Duez on November 09, 2025 from History Blog
This photo is from the 1971 Bridgeport High School football season and shows a bonfire taking place outside of the field. The Indians would beat Lewis County 68-0 that year.
This an aerial view of the last game played at Marshall University's Fairfield Stadium. The game was played on Nov. 10, 1990 against Eastern Kentucky. The Thundering Herd fell in the game by a 15-12 score.
Editor's Note: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection. Duez, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at dick.do@citynet.net.
