Bill Ramseyer didn’t have to go to the Super Bowl to get a game ball. The Super Bowl came to him, in a manner of speaking.
The Bluffton High School and Bluffton College student athlete, and once again Bluffton resident, Ramseyer was presented a Super Bowl football directly from Wilson’s Sporting Goods in Ada. All Super Bowl footballs are created by Wilson’s in Ada.

SATURDAY - The Bluffton University men's basketball team traveled to Mount St. Joseph on Saturday, Feb. 6, with an unblemished record to take on the Lions who had yet to garner their first win. The script was flipped at MSJ as the Beavers saw their 10-game winning streak come to a screeching halt. The Mount defense was up the task in a 58-37 shutdown of the Beavers who now stand 10-1, while MSJ improved to 1-9.
