Bill Ramseyer didn’t have to go to the Super Bowl to get a game ball. The Super Bowl came to him, in a manner of speaking.

The Bluffton High School and Bluffton College student athlete, and once again Bluffton resident, Ramseyer was presented a Super Bowl football directly from Wilson’s Sporting Goods in Ada. All Super Bowl footballs are created by Wilson’s in Ada.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
SATURDAY - The Bluffton University men's basketball team traveled to Mount St. Joseph on Saturday, Feb. 6, with an unblemished record to take on the Lions who had yet to garner their first win.

The Mount defense was up the task in a 58-37 shutdown of the Beavers who now stand 10-1, while MSJ improved to 1-9.

Would you believe that a Bluffton High School graduate earned four Super Bowl rings? That honor goes to Neil Schmidt’s collection, who might well be the best male athlete to graduate from BHS.

The 1940s-era Bluffton High School athletic standout in football and basketball started in both sports at Purdue, was drafted by the Chicago Cardinals and became a scout for the San Francisco 49ers.

He was the only Pirate to be named first team all-Ohio in two sports the same season, in football and basketball.
