The Bluffton High School football team will face its toughest playoff foe yet when they take on Ottawa Hills on Friday, November 10, at Napoleon. Both teams have 11-1 records coming into the Div. VI, Region 22 semifinal game.

The #2 seeded Pirates have rolled over two foes so far by a combined score of 101-6 at home in the post-season. Friday’s game promises to be much more competitive.

The #6 seeded Green Bears won their second straight Toledo Area Athletic Conference title in 2023. Ottawa Hills has outscored its two playoff opponents by a combined 70-28 score.

“Ottawa Hills is a very talented team that is explosive on offense,” said Pirate head coach Jeff Richards. “They spread the ball around and create big plays both running and passing.

“Defensively, they run to the ball well and limit big plays,” he added.
