Defend the B — the Bellarmine Football B fixed to the helmet of every varsity player is special. Navy blue in an oval of white. Since the start, it is an honor EARNED NOT GIVEN. The Varsity Football B represents a tradition of toughness born in the days when our valley was orchards, not business parks. Forged by the heat of summer practices, predawn weights, late-night film, and 100-yard bear crawls. It represents sacrifices made, blood shed, and a lifetime brotherhood with those before and after your time at Bell. It is the B worn by our fathers, our grandfathers, and, in some cases, our great-grandfathers. All of us taught about what it means to be men for and with others. EARNED NOT GIVEN - in the coming weeks, we will be tested. The traditions upheld, as a new generation takes on the cause. #DefendTheB #traditionoftoughness Photo Credit: mixxmstrmikephotos 📸
