Pirates shutout on road at Spencerville

By Bryan Kress
Sloppy play and defense dominated at Spencerville as the Pirates fell 22-0 to go to 3-4 on the season. Each team fumbled fives each and also lost three of those fumbles. There were also nine total turnovers in the game.

The first quarter went scoreless as both teams traded punts until Spencerville scored with a six-yard TD pass in the second to go up 6-0.

The Pirate defense held strong for the rest of the half but the offense could not get going as the team turned the ball over four times in the first half.

By Bryan Kress
Finding themselves down 27-7 win the third quarter at Allen East, Bluffton put together two comebacks that may very well end up being the biggest moments of the season.

Bluffton put up 270 yards to Allen East’s 350 total, but the only real numbers that matter are the point totals 35-33.

The first quarter was quiet offensively as Allen East scored first with a 15-yard TD toss.
Mitchell Ault, getting his first start of the season hit Drake Luginbuhl on a 9-yard pass to even it up at 7 in the second quarter.
