By Cort Reynolds

Friday the 13th was unlucky for the Ada High School boys basketball team as they lost 61-36 to hot three-point shooting by visiting Delphos Jefferson in Northwest Conference play Friday night.

Ada fell to 5-7 overall and 0-4 in the NWC after suffering their fourth loss in a row. Meanwhile, DJ improved to 6-6 and 2-1 in NWC play with the surprisingly lopsided win.
