ADA - In an exciting rollercoaster ride of a game, Bluffton got the last run in to edge Ada 48-46 in the finale to the Northwest Conference round robin Friday on an unseasonably cool night at War Memorial Stadium.

Bluffton rallied from a 10-point second half deficit with 20 unanswered points. But after an Ada touchdown cut the deficit to two points late, the Pirates had to dodge a last-second drive to hold on for the hard-hitting rivalry win.

Bluffton improved to 1-2 in the NWC East with the victory. Ada fell to 0-3 in the NWC East with the tough-luck defeat in their home opener on Senior Night.

The bird was taken to Crows Hollow Wildlife Center sanctuary in Richwood. 

The wildlife center spokesperson says that not only did the officers help rescue the eagle, but it was apparent they “have great compassion for animals.”
