91 football season ago

In 1928 Bluffton High School was not yet called the Pirates.

Here's where they played football  – it's Harmon Field but the stadium and scoreboard aren't yet constructed. The sign by the gate reads: Do Not Drive – Park On Out Side.

Some viewers are old enough to recall the gates. They remained in place until, perhaps the 1980s.

On the schedule in 1928, Bluffton faced Lima Central, Forest, Carey, Tiffin Jr., Oakwood, Shawnee, Leipsic, Ada, Toledo Waite and Columbus Grove.
