Pirate boy cagers seeded 5th in loaded sectional

By Cort Reynolds

BLUFFTON__The Bluffton High School boys basketball team was seeded fifth at the extremely tough 12-team Northwest Div. III sectional draw, which feeds into the Lima Senior district, on February 11.

Nine of the 12 teams in the exceptionally deep sectional field boast records over .500. Four local conference leaders and two second-place league teams comprise half of the strong field.

Authors of a 12-game win streak earlier this season, the 15-4 Pirates will host eighth-seeded league foe Columbus Grove (11-8) Tuesday, February 27 at 7 p.m.

Grove upset the visiting Pirates 47-35 last weekend, so Bluffton will get a chance to avenge that loss at home.
