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.

“Students, staff, parents, and guardians all have an important role in promoting school safety by following safety procedures and reporting concerns,” said Emily Torok, OSSC Executive Director. “It is important to balance sufficient building security with a healthy, nurturing school environment that reassures students that although there is a possibility of violence occurring at school, the probability of a school experiencing a high-profile violent act is extremely low.”
