THE COMPLETE GAME STATS ARE AN ATTACHMENT TO THIS STORY.
On paper you'd like Crestview won the game: they had the ball 7 minutes longer than the Pirates, they had 62 offensive plays to Bluffton's 39, they had more first downs and more total offense.
Yet the scoreboard belonged to Bluffton. Traveling to Crestview on Sept. 17 for an NWC contest, Bluffton came home the winner 28-20. The win raises the Pirates to 2-2 overall and 1-1 in the NWC.
Bluffton girls' soccer team traveled to Riverdale Monday evening for a
match-up against the Lady Falcons. Both teams entered the field ready to play, however, Riverdale soon dominated the entire game.
Their first goal came just 9 minutes into the game which was quickly followed with 2 more goals in the next 2 minutes. Bluffton slowly began to crumble.
