After 19 years and who-knows-how-many soccer matches, Bluffton Family Recreation is replacing the original turf on its indoor soccer field, according to Joseph Beagle, BFR director.
The original turf was removed earlier this month. Friday morning a new turf will arrive and installation will be underway all day.
Longtime Bluffton resident, Don Schweingruber, was honored earlier this month by Thiel College, where he graduated in 1963.
Posthumously, he was name recipient of The Thiel College Distinguished Alumni Award. It is presented to a Thiel alum nominated by fellow alumni and approved for recognition by the Alumni Association Board of Directors for outstanding contributions to the person's profession. Thiel is located in Greenville, Pa.
I started with Sue Sheehan about eight years ago. Since that time, I have had six surgeries on both my feet for heal spurs plus basil cancer on my eyelid.
The Lady Pirate soccer team hosted rival Liberty Benton in a non-conference game at Steinmetz Field Tuesday evening.
The Eagles landed the first goal 22 minutes into the first half, and the Pirates responded 5 minutes later when Senior Sarah Theisen hit the back of the net with her first of 3 goals for the night. Half time score was 1-1.
Six minutes into the second half, Theisen had a breakaway pulling the LB goalie way out of the net, and Theisen shot it right past her for her second goal.
LB responded 10 minutes later, tying the score at 2-2.
