Girls' tennis: Bluffton overpowers Lima Central Catholic

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 30, 2011 - 4:15am

By Ron Geiser

The Bluffton High School girls tennis team went indoors Thursday to knock off Lima Central Catholic to "win" the mythical Northwest Conference championship for the third straight year, 3-2.

BHS and LCC are the only two NWC schools to field tennis teams, so there is no official league title, but this rivalry has been hard-fought in recent years.

Taking their season record to 11-2 for the fall, coach Jesse Sensenig's netters became the third Pirate girls team to win that many matches in a season.

Bluffton loses second game of season to Ada in wild, 1,000-yard night

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 26, 2011 - 4:33pm

By Bryan Kress

With 1,079 yards of total offense, and 92 points scored, of course the game would be sealed on a defensive play. And of course after having the second best game in Bluffton history in the air, quarterback Hunter Joseph's final throw would be a heart breaking interception.

Joseph finished the night with 440 yards passing on 28 of 46 passes completed with 6 touchdowns. That's a night any quarterback will take, but it's his 2nd interception on the final drive for Bluffton that ended the game and their hopes of pulling off the upset.
