Pirate girls' tennis team beats LCC 3-2

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 20, 2010 - 5:43pm

Bluffton High School's girls' tennis team "won" the mythical Northwest Conference title for the second straight year with a 3-2 decision over Lima Central Catholic Monday afternoon at Harmon Courts.

BHS and LCC are the only NWC schools with girls tennis, so there is no official championship. Jess Hunter won at No. 2 singles, while the doubles teams of Ashlin Gable/Emily Sprague and Kristi Geiser/Liz Diller clinched the win.

BHS hosts Celina in a makeup match Tuesday at Harmon Courts.

Letter: The Icon helps me keep in touch

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 20, 2010 - 4:12pm

Icon:

Former Blufftonite Chris Hardesty here, now in New York. I don't recall what initially led me to the Icon a couple months ago, but I'm happy to have found it.

I check in every week or so and feel like I'm getting back in touch with the wonderful town I grew up in. I've enoyed the video of the band reunion, the blog post about the slaw cutters and the 15-minute Q&As. And (feel free to share this with your advertisers) I'm making a list of businesses I hope to hit-up whenever II make it back to town -- popcorn, coffee, Dough Hook...
