Bloomfield, Missouri - Bloomfield Middle School held their annual Athletic Honors Ceremony on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at the Bloomfield High School gym along with the high school athletes.

Louis Bell is the Bloomfield Middle School 7th and 8th grade girls basketball coach.

"We saw a lot of improvement as the season went by," commented Bell.  "We competed, but had a difficult time scoring.  I believe the girls enjoyed the season and were appreciative of the opportunity that was given to them."
