Pirates Suffer Tough Road Loss Against Jefferson 48-20
By Bryan Kress
Dominating on the ground and in the first half, Delphos Jefferson gave Bluffton their first loss of the season with a decisive win at home on Sept. 13.
The Jefferson run game was near-unstoppable as they racked up 248 yards on the ground with six total rushing scores.
The Pirates tried to rally in the second half, but it was too little too late.
Ada's current most famous person is Zac Dysert. He is an Ada High School grad and recent Miami (Ohio) grad. This spring he was drafted by the Denver Bronco and made the 53-team cut in late August. To be certain, he tossed passes for Ada High School against Bluffton about five seasons ago.

After a slow first half that showed only one touchdown from Carey the fireworks were turned on in the second with six scores allowing the Pirates to take home the victory.
The only score of the first came a Zach Brodman four-yard run to put the game at 6-0.
Bluffton came out of half time throwing as Mitchell Ault got the Pirates on the board with a 54-yard pass to Levi Kistler.
Alec Yoder, grandson of Alan and Diann Yoder of Bluffton, and son of Mike and Rebecca Yoder of Indianapolis, Ind., continues to excel on the national stage in the sport of men’s gymnastics.
