By Cort Reynolds

Ada rallied during a strong second half to defeat visiting Spencerville 33-28 in a hard-fought Northwest Conference contest on a chilly Friday night, September 30, at War Memorial Park Stadium.

The Bulldogs outscored the Bearcats 12-0 in the second half, and the defense came up with a key stop deep in its own territory early in the fourth period to preserve the win.

Ada improved to 2-5 overall and 1-3 in the NWC with the big victory. It was their first league triumph since beating Delphos Jefferson in 2019. 

Meanwhile, the Bearcats fell to 1-6 overall and 0-4 in league play with a defeat that extended their losing skid to five games.

Shifty Ada sophomore quarterback Levi Green ran for a score, returned a kickoff for a touchdown and accounted for 369 yards in total offense to pace the victors.
