ADA - In a key early-conference battle, Ada concludes the first half of the 2018 campaign Friday when it entertains tough Spencerville in the fourth Bulldog home game of the first five weeks.

A win over the defending conference champion would boost Ada's playoff and conference title hopes considerably, while a loss would damage both aspirations.

The surging Bearcats (3-1, 2-0 NWC) defeated Allen East this past Friday 27-15 to record their third straight victory. Spencerville has outscored its opposition 120-82 in four games.

They lost to unbeaten LCC 34-19 in their opener, but then beat Parkway, Perry and AE.

Leading off the Harvest and Herb Fest parade are the Marshall twins, dressed in shirts promoting the Minnesota Twins, who else. They carry the banner of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce, organizers of the annual festival. Brian Marshall (left) is an official of Liberty National Bank. Bruce Marshall is a retired Elida school teacher. To this day, friends confuse them when they are spotted since they still look very much alike.

HERE'S 20 PARADE PHOTOS BY MONTY SIEKERMAN
The 33rd annual Harvest and Herb Fest parade flowed down Main Street on Saturday morning with many Ada and ONU groups represented on farm wagons, in convertibles, in emergency vehicles, and on foot. Several out-of-town marchers participated, as well.

Junior Weihrauch organized the half-hour long parade that traveled from the ONU science complex parking lot, down Main Street to College Avenue.

Kids love a parade because all of the candy tossed toward them. Most youngsters end up with a sackful of goodies without going door-to door in the chilly weather which usually accompanies Halloween.

Behind a strong showing from Junior backup quarterback Phillip Coulson, the Bulldogs opened up a 30-0 first half lead en route to a 38-6 Northwest Conference victory over the visiting Delphos Jefferson Wildcats on Homecoming night. 

Coulson accounted for five scores in the victory, which moves Ada to 1-0 in the NWC and 2-2 on the season.

Speedy Junior running back Ty Miller opened the scoring for the Bulldogs early in the first quarter when he plunged in for a 1-yard touchdown.  Senior Noah Mattson’s extra point attempt was no good, holding the Ada lead at 6-0 with just over seven minutes to play in the opening period.
