Chosen for this week’s senior spotlight is Rio Fields. Rio is intelligent, athletic, and nonchalant (chill). He spends his free time playing basketball, hanging out with friends, playing games, and spending time with his little sister. Rio came back to BHS this year, and we are thrilled that he is once-again a Hurricane.
