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.

High school seniors may be limiting their college choices because of the perceived cost of a private college education.
But Bluffton University is offering a high-quality, private education at a cost no higher than at top state universities in Ohio.
Introduction of the new Bluffton Tuition Equalization Program (TEP) means that, for qualified prospective students, tuition and fees will be equal to or, in many cases, less than what they would pay at a state school.
Donald Schweingruber, 75, of Bluffton died September 12, 2015 at Bluffton Hospital. Arrangements are incomplete at Chiles-Laman Funeral and Cremation Services, Bluffton.
