ADA - Visiting Lima Central Catholic methodically defeated Ada 63-33 in non-conference girls basketball action Thursday night.
Lady Thunderbird senior post Rosie Williams muscled her way to 31 points inside to pace LCC to victory.
The Bulldog girls fell to 5-10 overall with the defeat, while the T-Bird girls improved to 8-7 with the victory.

Parks began her athletic endeavors in the competitive cheer world. It wasn't until middle school when Parks' father encouraged her to give basketball a try.
Sophomore Megan Lubinski (Milford/Brighton) helped Ohio Northern go 2-1 this past week and for her efforts was named Ohio Athletic Conference Swimmer of the Week. The Polar Bears toppled Oberlin and Mount Union and fell to Kenyon.
