The Motter sisters had an afternoon of fishing with dad on Sunday.

Bluffton Community's Sportmen's Club stocked the Buckeye with lots of trout, but on Sunday the fish just weren't biting.

Sunday's trout derby did have some winners, however, Danny Pierce of McComb was winner of the 50/50 drawing. He went back to Hancock County with $757.50 in his billfold. The Sportsmen's Club took an equal amount for its future stocking projects.

Krysti and Phil Schey

You're a 2004 graduate of BHS, correct? Share a bit about growing up in Bluffton.

Yes, graduated from BHS in 2004. I had a lot of fun in school, and was in
all kinds of activities - choir, band, show choir, jazz band, Latin club,
math club, etc. I also really enjoyed Campus Life. I was often just really
goofy with my friends!

Tell me what you did after high school. College? Graduate school?

The Lady Pirate defense put on a top notch performance as they held off the Lincolnview Lancers Monday in an NWC match-up.

The Pirates, looking to keep their NWC title shot alive, defeated the Lancers 6-5 at Harmon Field. The Pirates started off with a single by Ashlin Gable. Gable was able to score off an error hit by Molly Lengyel.

The Pirates trailed the Lancers 3-1 in the second inning before the bats came alive. Katie Palte was able to reach first base on a nicely placed bunt, followed by a walk by Lexi Luginbihl. Briana Laing blasted a double scoring Palte.
