BHS Baseball & Softball Enjoy Great 2024 Seasons
THIS ARTICLE IS DEDICATED TO BILL WALTON AND BILL RUSSELL. TWO GREAT CELTIC CHAMPIONS. SPEAKING OF CELTIC CHAMPIONS, YOUR BOSTON CELTICS ARE 2024 NBA CHAMPIONS. On May 27th, 2024, the sports world got news that a hero had passed of cancer at 71 years young. Bill Walton, who in his own right was an unbelievable athlete.

Walton’s post player profile wasn’t shabby by any means. A great scorer and an uncanny ability to be a significant playmaker from the block. Something that we’ve only seen a couple of times. Bill Russell before him, Hakeem Olajuwon at the same time as Walton and Nikola Jokic today.
