Here are the Bluffton Icon's most-read stories of 2021. We have grouped the December 11 police incident and obituaries as single topics. The surprise entry to this editor, if not to past editors, is that a 2012 story about the coexist bumper sticker, item #3, attracted 873 readers.
For people of all ages, the everyday stress of life often leads to the sacrifice of one of the most important aspects of human health: sleep. Most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night, but on average, many adults receive seven hours or less. The number is even worse for college students, with six hours being the average amount of sleep that students are getting on a good night.
The Bluffton University women stifled St. Mary's College 66-49 on day two of the McDonald's Holiday Classic. Their fourth straight victory has the Beavers 6-4 overall headed back into Heartland Conference action on Sunday.
A Sydney Cavanaugh (Mansfield/St. Peter) three ball at the 1:39 mark of the first quarter gave Bluffton a 19-6 advantage as the Beavers had visions of the 93 points they put up on Wednesday against Geneva. Two Cavanaugh freebies made it 21-8 heading to period two.
The Bluffton University men's basketball team got career nights out of a pair of juniors on Thursday, Dec. 30, 2021. Bluffton moved to 4-6 following a 69-53 win over Grove City in the McDonald's Holiday Classic. Marcus Bruns (Coldwater) and Miguel Ringer (Cincinnati/Christian) put up 23 points and 20 points, respectively, just a night after Jameel Cosby (Springfield/Kenton Ridge) went off for a career-high 31 counters.
