2015-16 NWC Don Bachman Award of Excellence
Bluffton won the Northwest Conference 2015-16 “Don Bachman Award of Excellence” for the second time with a number of high finishes in conference standings throughout the year. This award recognizes the school in the conference that exhibits the highest level of consistent excellence in conference-sponsored sports and scholastic bowl competition.
The Pirates compiled a total of 75.5 points to defeat Spencerville (69.5) with Columbus Grove (66.0) finishing third. Points are awarded and accumulated each year based on conference standings in all sports and the NWC scholastic bowl competition.

This year Bluffton earned one outright NWC title in Boys Soccer. In addition to the conference championship in soccer, the Pirates had second place finishes in Wrestling, Boys Track and Girls Track with a co-runner up in the Scholastic Bowl competition. Bluffton also had third place finishes in Girls Soccer, Girls Basketball and Football.
Other NWC champions/co-champions were Ada (Volleyball), Allen East (Girls Soccer), Columbus Grove (Girls Basketball, Girls Track, Boys Track), Crestview (Softball), Delphos Jefferson (Football, Wrestling), Lincolnview (Golf, Boys and Girls Cross Country, Boys Basketball), Paulding (Volleyball, Baseball, Academic Team) Spencerville (Baseball),
