It’s been 20 years since the first Holy Man competition started, bringing back former Bemidji State football players for a reunion filled with friends, laughs, and memories. The reunion always brings them back to the place they started, and always includes a little friendly competition.

But it was the very first one that made their one weekend a year together, all that more special. And now they use it to remember those who may have gone before them. But after 20 years the competition as they know it, is coming to an end.

The Holy Man competition has been going on for 20 years strong, and although this may be the last year of competition, they say they’ll always find a way to get together with their brothers.
