The host Bluffton High School girls basketball team defeated Paulding 44-31 in a non-league outing Saturday afternoon, January 7.

The Pirate girls used tough defense to hold the Panthers to just seven combined points over the first and third periods.

Bluffton ran out to a 14-2 lead after the first quarter as Riley Eachus nailed two triples. Ayla Grandey also netted six points in the opening stanza.

Paulding rallied within 23-17 at halftime behind a 17-9 second quarter. 

Bluffton spurted back in front by 15 after responding with a 14-5 third quarter run. Paulding narrowly won the fourth period 9-7 but it was far too little, too late.

Bluffton improved to 8-4 with the win against their former NWC foe. The struggling Panther girls dropped to 1-10 with the loss.
