BLUFFTON, Ohio - Head Coach Denny Dorrel presided over his first end-of-season Bluffton Football Banquet on Saturday, Jan. 31. In addition to outlining the numerous highlights from his first season at the helm, Coach Dorrel thanked Associate Head Coach Lou Stokes for his hard work and dedication to the Bluffton football program while announcing that 2014 was his final season on the sideline.
