The Bluffton High School boys soccer team rolled over rival Riverdale 5-1 to win the Div. III district championship Saturday at Frost-Kalnow Stadium in Tiffin.
The victory avenged a district final upset loss to the Falcons a year ago almost to the day last Halloween.
Senior ace Jude Spallinger netted two goals to pace the Pirates.
Neither team dented the back of the net in the first 30 minutes. Spallinger started the scoring at the 31:40 mark on an assist by sophomore Nolan Hoffman.
The score stayed 1-0 at halftime and into the 48th minute.

An ostomy is a surgical procedure that diverts a portion of the intestines to the outer abdominal wall to create a stoma that expels stool. It is estimated 450,000 people in the U.S. have an ostomy. It is a new way of living and with modern medicine, patients can experience a full life again.
From the opening scene of “Failure: A Love Story,” the audience learns the three main characters all die. However, Bluffton University’s fall play--about three sisters and the man who falls in love with each one--has plenty of wit as well.
“I wasn’t ready for a complete comedy. I wanted a play that could tap into feelings of loss, considering everything that has happened in the last couple of years,” said Dr. Melissa Friesen, professor of theatre and director of the show. “There is a lot of humor in this play, but there is also a healthy balance of dramatic moments.”
