By Cort Reynolds

After a close and low-scoring first half, Bluffton High School lost 30-14 to visiting backyard rival Allen East in a Northwest Conference football showdown between the last two remaining league unbeatens Friday night, October 7, at Harmon Field.

Bluffton is now 5-3 overall, dropping to 4-1 in the league and into a second-place tie with Columbus Grove after the loss.
