Cruising around the MAC I had to laugh when reading the Balls board commenting on Emoni Bates

Not often you get to see Bevo in a thread outside SEO

Bevo seems to be more legendary than in our local poster's mind

Well I saw Bevo Francis play Anderson College at the old Anderson High Wigwam in front of a sold out crowd of4700 in 1952-53 season. Rio Grande and Bevo went 39-0 that year. Anderson College did not win.


I learned 2 new tidbits here.
-The Wigwam that burned only held 4700...rebuilt to hold 8000+
-Rio was 39-0 that year.

Thanks for sharing, Borna. I never saw Bevo play, but I heard the legend as I was growing up. I did attend, along with a friend, the dedication of URG’s field house, a number of years ago. Though my memory is a little vague on this point, I believe that Bevo and some of his family were there for the dedication.
