Pirate football grounds Rockets

The Bluffton High School football team defeated visiting local rival Pandora-Gilboa 28-21 Friday night in a non-league battle at Harmon Field.

The hard-fought win lifted the Pirate record to 2-0, while P-G dropped to 1-1 with the loss.

Just 15 seconds into the game, Bluffton struck paydirt. 

Garret Bogart connected with Braeden Jordan on a short pass to the right. Jordan broke a tackle around the 35-yard line and sprinted untouched the rest of the way 67 yards to the end zone.

Inside the Pirate five, P-G’s Ben Burkholder ran left for three yards and was stuck hard by Jordan at the goal line. The big hit jarred the ball loose, but the runner was ruled to have just crossed the plane to score and tie it 7-7.
