In 2017, Bluffton defeated Kalida in a shootout to advance to the OHSAA Regional tournament.

In 2018, the same two teams again went to penalty kicks but the Wildcats prevailed, putting an end to another great boys soccer campaign for Bluffton. 

The squads squared off Saturday afternoon on Kalida's home field, deemed neutral by the OHSAA.  With temperatures in the 40s, a non-ceasing rain and a bit of wind the play was ragged at times.

We invited Icon viewers to guess the location of this Bluffton photo. Every once in a while we need to toss in a difficult photo - and by the entries submitted, this was a stumper.

The correct answer is not:
• Bluffton Community Swimming Pool (many contestants thought it was)
• nor is it found at the Bluffton elementary school

Both were great guessed and make sense. However, this image is in one of the Bluffton Hospital OR rooms.
