The Bluffton Icon: A rare medium that's well-done...thoughts on our first anniversary

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 19, 2010 - 9:49am

By Mary Pannabecker Steiner

In the nearly 30 years that we've been married, we haven't taken many risks, except for buying three houses and having two children. For the most part, we're cautious -- probably overcautious -- he more than I. Blame that on the fact that I'm the only girl in a family of four older brothers -- they taught me to do things that our parents never knew about until after the fact.

Pirates go to the air to beat Crestview 28-20

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 18, 2010 - 9:11pm

THE COMPLETE GAME STATS ARE AN ATTACHMENT TO THIS STORY.

On paper you'd like Crestview won the game: they had the ball 7 minutes longer than the Pirates, they had 62 offensive plays to Bluffton's 39, they had more first downs and more total offense.

Yet the scoreboard belonged to Bluffton. Traveling to Crestview on Sept. 17 for an NWC contest, Bluffton came home the winner 28-20. The win raises the Pirates to 2-2 overall and 1-1 in the NWC.
