Final score: Ada 42 - Bluffton 17. The game box score is attached.
You can't find an older high school football series in northwestern Ohio than when Ada and Bluffton meet on the field. The two teams have played each other annual since the early 1920s and perhaps earlier.

This year's winner was Ada, taking a 13-0 first quarter lead, and extending it to 35-10 after three periods. The win helps Ada's chances for a playoff berth.
Monty Siekerman was on the sidelines and shares several fan photos of the contest, held in Ada.
You'll see the Dawg Pound, the Bulldogs coming out on the field, Ada cheerleaders, and the Bluffton crowd decked out in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
