PAULDING - Visiting Bluffton scored in the final minute to squeak past Paulding 27-24 in the final game of a shortened, unprecedented Northwest Conference season Friday night.

Speedy senior Tyson Shutler ripped off a 48-yard touchdown run with 25 seconds left in the game to bring the Pirates back from a 24-19 deficit to a 25-24 lead.

Pirate quarterback Nate Schaadt ran in the two-point conversion to provide the final margin as the Pirates held on for the win.
