Pirate football: Defense picks off four Ada passes in big win

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 20, 2015 - 2:36pm

By Sam Brauen

The place to be was War Memorial Stadium in Ada on Friday evening. 

The field turned out to be aptly named as the Bluffton Pirate football team fought, scratched and clawed their way to a 27-21 victory over Ada. The win was of high importance for a few reasons. 

First, it stopped a three-game losing streak for the Pirates.  In a much longer term, it snapped an eight-year losing streak at the hands of the Bulldogs.  Both Ada and Bluffton owned 5-3 records heading into Week 9.
