If you wanted to draw up a great start to a football game, Bluffton met all expectations Friday night.  Just five minutes into the game, BHS led 14-0 in their first trip to the beautiful Redskin Stadium in Shelby County.  The great start didn’t last however and by halftime, Fort Loramie had clawed back to tie the game at 14-14.  The Pirates showed some grit in the second half and won the game 23-14 to advance to 3-0 for the first time since 2011.

Ada sports fans are dumping Bronco jerseys. They briefly traded those for Bears' jerseys. Now they are wearing Houston Texan jerseys.

As of Sept. 6, former Ada High School football standout Zac Dysert is now a Houston Texan.

The Texans signed Dysert to their practice squad one day after placing quarterback Tom Savage on injured reserve with a severely sprained shoulder.

Dysert was cut by the Broncos during the preseason when he was beaten out by rookie Trevor Siemian and was briefly with the Chicago Bears.

However, in the second half, Bluffton wore down the Knight defense and the Pirate running backs ran over, around and through the visitors for a 35-14 victory.  Bluffton moved to 2-0 on the season with the victory while Van Buren falls to 0-2.
