The Bluffton football team silenced local rival Allen East 42-0 in their Northwest Conference match Friday night at Goodwin Field in Harrod to stay undefeated and tied atop the league heading to the final week of the regular season.
The stingy Pirate defense came up with five sacks en route to their seventh consecutive shutout.

The 1923 red and white Bluffton team, playing before most school athletic leagues were formed, won eight games and lost only one. Even its loss, by a close 3 to 9 score, was impressive.
