Columbus Grove stormed out to a 41-17 halftime lead enroute to a 69-40 Northwest Conference victory. Michael Donley's 16 points paced Bluffton while Jordan Travis dropped 25 on the Pirates, including 18 in the first half. RJ Stratton added 11 points for Bluffton.
The game was played in Grove's fading, cramped gym. There will be just one more game played there as a new school and gym will open in the fall.
Bluffton is now 3-12 on the season while Grove improved to 11-3 with the win. BHS hosts Van Wert Saturday night.
