BLUFFTON – In the most anticipated league game of the Northwest Conference season between unbeaten rivals, Bluffton lost its title showdown 42-0 to the potent Columbus Grove run game and stingy defense at Harmon Field Friday, October 25.

The visiting Bulldogs dominated to seize the outright league championship in a surprisingly lopsided regular season finale on a cool evening.

The Pirates trailed 28-0 at halftime as CG scored touchdowns on their first four possessions.

The Pirates fell to 9-1 overall and 6-1 in the NWC with the defeat. 

Defending league co-champion Columbus Grove improved to 10-0 overall and won the NWC title outright at 7-0 after the big win.  ▶︎

Whether children are having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, poor sleep can wreak havoc on a child’s physical health, mood and school performance. Furthermore, when children don’t sleep, neither do their parents, which can mean that entire families are affected by disruptions in sleep patterns.
