Meet the undefeated Bluffton Warriors football team

It was 101 football season ago.
In 1910 Bluffton had a football team that must have been pretty good. Their mascot was the Warriors, and they were never scored upon.
That's about all that is known of this famous squad, thanks for the wording on the football in the photo.
We recognize Ray Triplett on the far right in the top row. Looks as if he might be the coach. Charles Hankish is on the front row, second from left.
The photo leaves more questions than answers. For example, is this a high school team or simply a community team? What were their colors? Where did they play? How did they become named the Warriors?
We can only assume that Will Triplett (father of Ray) took the photo. But as to the Warriors opponents and location of playing field, we can only guess.
