Give Friday's "W" to the rain; Pirates head to 3-1 Ada this week
By Bryan Kress
It wasn’t offense, defense, or special teams that dominated the game, but rain. All across Ohio rain was the biggest story as it made it difficult for every team to get going.
7-6 was the final score as both offenses were stuck in the mud and yards were hard to come by.
Quarterback Robbie Stratton took snaps for the first time since last season, but the weather made sure he had a difficult time throwing.
In the end the Pirates were unable to pull off the win against a solid Crestview team.
Bluffton will travel next week to take on the always tough Ada (3-1).
