Last week was the Franklin County High School (FCHS) homecoming game and parade. This week was a very special homecoming for 1997 FCHS graduate Denny Dorrel. It was complete with balloons, cheering fans and a football team.

Week seven of the 2015 Bluffton football schedule saw The Big Red take the field for the second straight week against a run-heavy, state-ranked opponent.  Spencerville, fourth in the latest poll, dispatched the Pirates 41-7 behind 296 yards and six touchdowns from senior running back Zach Goecke. 

Like Delphos Jefferson the week before, the Bearcats racked up over 400 rushing yards on their way to the victory. Goecke wasn’t the only weapon out of the SHS backfield.
