What does BF Terry stand for?

[big daddy russ]

Is it the initials for Rosenberg Terry or somewhere else? I've seen it in some of the 7 on 7 threads but have no idea what it stands for. Just curious.

Don't you hate it when you know the answer....until someone asks the question? :mad:

Isn't it something-Fannin?

Yes, it's Rosenberg Terry.

I think it's FB instead of BF. I believe it stands for Fort Bend.

It is BF, as in Benjamin Franklin Terry....

In 1861, Texas went to war and called upon the citizenry to defend her. One of the early groups to answer that call was Terry's Texas Rangers. Organized and led by Benjamin Franklin Terry, a wealthy sugar planter from Brazoria, the regiment mustered in at Houston in September 1861 with just over a thousand men.

He was a resident for a time in Rosenberg, thus the high school is known as the BF Terry Rangers..........

I knew that BF was the first initials of the guy that the school was named after but I wasn't sure what the name was. It is funny that no one seems to call them Rosenburg Terry around here it is always BF Terry!
