Last Saturday, the Pirates travelled to the Ottawa-Glandorf Blue/Gold CC Invitational, the site of their district competition in October. It's a confusing course in some ways, with crossing paths and tight turns.

In the Gold division race (Bluffton was in Blue), a few girls finishing in the top ten were disqualified for unknowingly cutting a portion of the course.

There was a time in license plate land when the only vanity plates were owned by HAM radio operators. Today the HAM plate continues to stick out because of its unusual combination of letters and numbers. The Icon spotted this plate from Summit County in a Bluffton University parking lot.
