The visiting Bluffton football team struck early and often through the air to soundly defeat Defiance Ayersville 42-0 in their third and final non-league battle of the regular season Friday night.

The convincing road victory lifted the Pirate record to 3-0, while Ayersville fell to 2-1 with the loss.

Bluffton scored on three first-half touchdown aerials and was never threatened. 

Garret Bogart tossed a 42-yard touchdown strike to Gavin Bogart to start the scoring in the first period. Kyle Basil’s extra point kick put the visitors on top, 7-0.

The Bogart duo again hooked up for a six-yard TD reception in the second period to extend the lead to 14-0.

Braeden Jordan then hauled in a 53-yard scoring aerial from Bogart to build a commanding 21-0 lead by intermission.

Bluffton tallied two more TDs in the third period to put the game out of reach.

Gavin Bogart intercepted a pass and returned it 18 yards to paydirt, and Basil’s fourth PAT kick stretched the advantage to 28-0.
