FINDLAY__The visiting Bluffton boys basketball team defeated non-league foe Liberty-Benton 63-56 Saturday, January 20, to extend their win streak to 10 games.

PANDORA__The visiting Bluffton High School girls basketball team pulled away late to defeat spunky non-conference rival Pandora-Gilboa 41-33 Saturday afternoon, January 20.
It was the third game in five days for the Pirate girls. Bluffton had to fashion a 16-10 fourth period to put the Rocket girls away.
In a January 20 non-conference match-up between two of the top DIV in the area, the Pandora-Gilboa High School boy’s basketball team (12-2) ended up on the short end of a 57-48 loss to the Delphos St. John’s Bluejays (11-2).
This is the second in a series of features on famous Bluffton High School alumni.
Dr. Helen Barnes, the first woman to receive a Bluffton High School diploma, rose to the top of her profession, eventually becoming international secretary of the Young Woman’s Christian Association (YWCA).
Given the barriers women faced during her lifetime, her accomplishments, views expressed and worldwide friendships she made paint a picture of a very strong, impressive and successful woman.
Dr. Barnes may be Bluffton’s most traveled woman of all time. She crossed the Atlantic by boat 13 times and traveled three times around the world during her Y.W.C.A. years.
