Adversity was the word of the day for the Bluffton Pirates on Friday. Despite being down 14-0 in the first, and playing on a day that featured highs of 92 degrees, the Pirates found a way to tie the score before halftime and break another tie late in the game to earn their second victory of the season.
Bluffton's senior quarterback Hunter Joseph started the day with an interception and a lost fumble, but rebounded nicely by completing 9 of 13 passes for 207 yards and 4 touchdowns as well as rushing for 34 yards.
The Bluffton High School girls' tennis team has already equaled its 2010 victory total as the Lady Pirates dropped Wapakoneta 5-0 Wednesday on the Redskins' courts.
Coach Jesse Sensenig's team is now 6-1 for the fall, having won its last six decisions after an opening loss to Shawnee. BHS was 6-9 in dual competition last year.
Emily Sprague won a three-setter to up her season mark at No. 2 singles to 8-1, while Ashlin Gable improved to 7-3 at No. 1 and Kristi Geiser moved to 7-2 at No. 3 singles, both winning in straight sets.
