ELIDA -- The visiting Bluffton High School girls softball team lost at non-league foe Elida 15-0 on a chilly Monday, April 7.

Sifrit struck out 11 and walked none to earn the mercy rule victory. At the plate, she drove in two runs and scored three.

Abby Daugherty and Kayla Hunter each also homered as Elida banged out 15 hits. 

Elida improved to 3-5 with the lopsided win, while the Pirates are 0-2.

Club Celebrates 105 years

One hundred and five years ago the Poinsettia Club of Bluffton was founded by a group of women seeking friendship, laughter and an opportunity to do some good in the world. With the same goals in mind the Poinsettia Club is beginning its new season with a luncheon on Tuesday, April 15, 2025. Our motto from Madeline Bridges is “Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.”
