The Broad Ripple High School Rockets played the last basketball game at the 132-year-old school that will be closing after this school year. The Rockets beat the Washington Continentals on the William Smith Sr. Court. (Bill Smith was coach for 23 years)
BRHS shirts and yearbooks from many years were available for purchase. These items will also be on sale at the May 10th open house at the school.
Principal J. Phil Shults congratulated students at Senior Night.
Many graduates and past BRHS Rockets team members came to the game to say goodbye to the school, including Bill Bastian ('48) and Gene Neudigate ('52) pictured here.
