BLUFFTON, Ohio - A deep recruiting class along with an experienced core of returners has Head Coach Rhonda (Gottschalk) Smith eagerly anticipating her third year at the helm. The 2015 Beavers put together one of the best seasons in school history and Smith has assembled a talented squad to help Bluffton build on that foundation. Despite a rash of injuries last season, the Beavers stayed upbeat in 2016, forging a tight bond that will drive the program as it moves forward.
Bluffton Area Ministerial Association and the Bluffton Community Assistance Program will provide free school supplies to children on the free and reduced lunch program in the Bluffton school district.
Supplies will be available from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Aug. 12, at St. John’s United Church of Christ, corner of Jackson and College.
It is suggested to call the church to enroll children at 419-358-5641.

AN OPINION PIECE
