Some of the most interest people ever to play soccer at Bluffton High School showed up in Doylestown on Wednesday,

Nate Gundy, BHS 2000 grad, and Brett Buller, BHS 2001 grad, both live in Orrville and attended the state semi-final boys' soccer game.

Neither soccer great claim to have been carded while in high school, but their soccer-playing tenacity while at BHS is legendary. (Brother, Ben Gundy, perhaps, was carded ocassionally. That's a different story altogether.)

AT BOTTOM OF STORY -
It was a dark and stormy night.

And, it was Oct. 31, 2019.

However, Bluffton’s Halloweener’s had a Plan B. It is this: when the weather’s howling outside, go inside.

And, so places like the Bluffton Public Library,  Bluffton Family Recreation and the English Lutheran Church attracted more candy that you’d find tossed in a homecoming parade.

The Icon shares some of the costume-wearers photos in this first in a two-part series.
