BHS and Ada series started in early 1920s - before Pirates were Bluffton's mascot
Posted by Fred Steiner on September 17, 2019 - 10:34am

By Cort Reynolds
ADA - After a 2-1 non-league start, Bluffton journeys to Ada Friday night to face a Bulldog squad coming off of its first victory in a critical Northwest Conference opener.

The Pirates defeated winless Defiance Ayersville 35-14 in week three. Ada is 1-2 after thumping USV 45-14 Satuday night in a game delayed a day by bad weather.

The Bulldogs lost to tough MAC foe New Bremen 51-21 in their opener, then fell in week two at Arlington 26-12. But they are quickly improving on defense, and feature several dangerous threats on offense.
