FT. JENNINGS - The visiting Bluffton girls basketball team built a big early lead and easily beat winless Fort Jennings 63-44 in a non-league game this past Saturday afternoon.

The Lady Pirates ran out to a 47-18 halftime bulge and cruised to victory.

The Pirate girls improved to 2-1 with the blowout victory, while FJ fell to 0-4 with the defeat.

The victors ran out to a 23-12 lead after one period. Bluffton then put the game away with a season-best 24-point second stanza while limiting FJ to just six points.
