Bluffton High School will host this year’s Northwest Conference meet on Friday.
Eight schools will bring wrestlers and there will be junior high and high school competitions.
Jeff Kleman, Bluffton coach, told the Icon that the junior high wrestlers will compete in the old BHS gym. The high school competition takes place in the new gym.
“Bluffton will have seven or eight wrestlers competing,” said Kleman. He expects Allen East and Columbus Grove be in a competitive spot for the NWC trophy this year.

Tyler Black of Bluffton, representing the Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District, was elected vice-president of the Ottawa River Coalition during its recent annual meeting. This is his first term on the board.
Black said, “The Ottawa River Coalition plays an important role in watershed management and clean water.
“Something that I know, as vice-chair of the ORC and as a resident of Bluffton, means a great deal to everyone in the region.”

The sun always comes out, eventually. Following a weekend of nearly 4 inches of snowfall, Bluffton dug out, the school reopened and the sun came out. Wednesday afternoon was a great time to take your dog for a walk at the Buckeye.
