Captain of the baseball team while at Bluffton, Edward Tice, earned six letters in baseball, football and basketball. During his senior year at Bluffton, he was batting over .700 and finished the year averaging two hits for every three at-bats.
Tice has been a fifth and sixth grade teacher, a career he chose over an offer to play professional baseball.
He has been a member of the Deep Run Mennonite Church, where he has been the Sunday School Superintendent, teacher, trustee and deacon. Tice also has belonged to the PSEA and National Education Association.
“Participation in sports at Bluffton was a thoroughly enjoyable experience,” Tice said. “Athletes and coaches stressed cooperation, team play and growth as individuals, rather than winning. This attitude, which embodied fairness and team play, has been a part of my life since college.”
