The visiting Ada High School boys basketball team fell to the three-point accuracy of Hardin County rival Kenton 78-45 in a non-league contest Saturday night, January 22.

The Wildcats drained 10 three-pointers and 12 Kenton players scored in the decisive win.

The Bulldogs trailed 39-25 at intermission, and Kenton put the game out of reach with a 20-6 third period. 

"You have to defend in basketball and we didn't," said first-year Bulldog head coach Vince Halliday.

"I am at a loss," he added. "They certainly shot well, and we did not put up much resistance."

Book Review: Gangsters vs. Nazis

By Robert McCool
Posted by Staff on Sunday, January 23, 2022

With sixty nonfiction books to his name, Michael Benson speaks with an authority that's hard to deny. That is especially true with his latest, Gangsters vs. Nazis: How Jewish Mobsters Battled Nazis in Wartime America (Kensington Press, ISBN: 978-0-8065-4179-2).

In this April 2022 release, Benson's genius particularly shines. His research is unparalleled and easy to follow in this engaging page-turner. His skill in writing nonfiction results in a flowing scene of visualizations of the people and places in the time they occur in, 1938. All of the action is accurate and true; he's committed to the story and willing to go the distance it takes to present it.
