Here's a photo indentified only as "County Champions" BHS 108 ------ 30. We take this to mean a Bluffton football team in 1904 was the best squad in Allen County, scoring 108 points and having only 30 points scored on them. We don't know how many games they played or who were their opponents.
For example, if they played five games, they averaged 21.6 points (three touchdowns per game) against only 1 for their opponents.

Where did you grow up? Where did you go to high school and when did you graduate?
I grew up in Ft. Jennings in Putnam County. I went to high school at Ft. Jennings High School and also attended Vantage Vocational School my junior and senior year. I graduated from both schools in 1996.
Tell us about your childhood. What were some of your interests, after-school activities, etc.?
