VAN WERT__The visiting Bluffton High School boys basketball team rode a big fourth quarter to defeat pesky Lincolnview 75-59 in a Northwest Conference contest on January 26, extending their win streak to 11 games.

Bluffton also maintained its hold on first place in the league with the victory as they improved to 13-1 overall and 4-0 in the NWC. 

The Lancers fell to 4-10 overall and 0-4 in NWC play after the defeat. 

The Pirates led 16-10 after the first period and 38-26 at the half. 

Yet Lincolnview hung within striking distance at 48-40 heading to the final quarter. Chayse Overholt hit two triples and scored eight points for the Lancers in the stanza. 

But a 27-point fourth period outburst by the Pirates allowed Bluffton to pull away and win by 16.
