Saturday, Oct. 16, marked an important day for the Bluffton cross country teams. It was the Northwest Conference Championship race: the last and most important regular-season meet.
Two Pirates earned All-Conference honors for Bluffton: Matthew Herron and Hannah Chappell-Dick, each placing 2nd overall.
The Pirate Cross Country team travelled Saturday to Fostoria: their 4th meet in 10 days. Though some had tired legs, the Bluffton athletes continued to turn up the heat.
The Fostoria course is known best for its hill, known to many as "the wall." A deceivingly flat start to the race takes runners around baseball diamonds and classic Ohio cornfields.
Nearing the end of the season, the Bluffton Lady Pirates soccer team hosted the Delphos St. John's Blue Jays Monday evening. Both teams starting strong, battling for a solid 10 minutes back and forth, the Blue Jays put their first of many goals in.
Bluffton High School's football team celebrated its 2010 homecoming with a 30-0 win over Spencerville on Oct. 8.
The victory moved BHS to 4-3 overall. It included one play that enters the record books. Hunter Joseph tossed a 97-yard touchdown pass to Matt Lee in the second half. The play set a new school record for the longest touchdown pass. The previous record was a 95-yard pass from John Tabler to Jay Stratton set in 1982 versus Upper Scioto Valley.
