On Sept. 30, the Bluffton cross country team walked out of the school and onto the bus. They drove to the Riverdale Invitational: an unusually large Thursday meet of about 10 schools.

In year's past, the course, while fast, has been hard and uneven. This year, however, two days of rain softened the ground and made it much more pleasant to race on. The flat course, beautiful fall weather, and the high number of competitors helped many Pirates lower their times.Bluffton

Bluffton High School's girls tennis team is participating in sectional action at UNOH today (Thursday).

Coach Peter Diller's team dropped a close 3-2 decision to Lima Bath Tuesday to finish the season with a 6-9 record. The match wasn't decided until a marathon contest at No. 1 doubles ended with the Wildkittens on top.

Ashlin Gable and Emily Sprague lost for only the second time this season in the deciding match, dropping one set in a tiebreaker and the third set 7-5 after leading 4-1.
