Pirates visit Van Buren on October 10

By Cort Reynolds

The Bluffton High School girls soccer team scored two goals in the final five minutes to tie Columbus Grove 2-2 in a thrilling finish to their Northwest Conference-deciding clash Tuesday night, October 3, at Steinmetz Field.

With the dramatic tie on an unseasonably hot evening, Bluffton repeated as outright league champions and won its third NWC crown in the last four years.

A loss to Grove would have likely meant a shared three-way title with the Bulldogs and Allen East. But the comeback tie means the Pirates finished as the only undefeated team in the league with five wins.

Haunted Hike is a C-R High School-Kaleidoscope Farms collaboration

Posted by Staff on October 4, 2023 - 6:00am

MT. CORY__Kaleidoscope Farms is partnering with the music department at Cory-Rawson High School for a first-ever haunted trail hike on Oct. 20 and 21 from 6-10 p.m. Students will provide their acting skills as the “ghosts” haunting a couple miles of wooded, spooky trails on the farm, with a portion of the proceeds going to fund the Cory-Rawson Music Boosters.

Visitors will have to find clues along the trails to solve a (fictional) century-old murder with origins in the Clymer Cemetery just down the road from the farm. They’ll have to hike the trails and find the ghosts to determine which natural poison growing on the farm was used to commit the crime and solve the Mystery of Clymers Passed.
