Bluffton girls mute Ada offense

By Cort Reynolds

Playing in Ada, the Bluffton girls basketball team locked down the Lady Bulldog offense for over 18 minutes and cruised to a 42-22 Northwest Conference win Thursday night, December 16.

Ada tallied the game's first basket, then did not score another field goal against the tight Pirate defense until less than five minutes remained in the third period. 

By that time, Bluffton led comfortably by a 27-5 margin.

The Lady Pirates improved to 5-3 and 1-1 in the NWC with the lopsided victory. The Ada girls fell to 2-7 and 0-3 in NWC action with the defeat.
