What is the greatest Bluffton High School football team ever? A very interesting read is "A Century of Pirates," a compilation of stories, photographs and records of Bluffton High School championship athletic teams and players of the 20th century. Included are photos and player names of 20 outstanding football teams that played between 1929 to 1998. Fred Steiner compiled this amazing record. It is a treasure to read for those that follow Pirate sports.
