Members of the Bellevue Ex-Students Association gathered for their annual reunion Saturday and unveiled the first inductees to the new Wall of Honor.
A large crowd filled the gym to enjoy lunch followed by the program. Before the Wall of Honor, a pair of gym banners honoring two past winning girl’s basketball teams were unfurled. Superintendent Wade Wesley said the 1975-76 girls’ team was a regional finalist and the 1976-77 team was a regional semi-finalist, advancing further than any other team in school history. Coach Dan Webb was on hand to stand with his former players.
