How could a 4-year-old Bluffton girl win this year's Bluffton Icon football contest? Well, it's true and false at the same time.
Young Adelyn Althaus is this year's winner. She accumulated 111 points this season and had three weekly wins. Here's the catch, Adelyn's entries were entered in her name by her dad, Andy Althaus.
But, it made for an interesting contest and we wish Adelyn well in future contests.
Here's a listing of all contestants in this year's contest.
Sophomore Ryan Aelker (New Bavaria/Holgate) was recently named HCAC Player of the Week for the week ending Nov. 3, 2013.
Aelker led the Bluffton defense to a 28-0 shutout win over Anderson. The sophomore finished with four tackles, two sacks, three tackles-for-loss and a quarterback hurry as the Bluffton defense limited Anderson's offense
to a paltry 157 total yards and seven first downs.
The defensive end has 29 tackles this season, including 18 of the solo variety. He leads the Beavers with five sacks (31 yards) and 11 tackles-for-loss (46 yards).
