Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, April 22, 2021

The oversized-load parade through Ada is a frequent event. The Icon watched this one pass through town on Wednesday, despite the fact that we were the only one on the curb watching.

LIMA - The visiting Ada tennis team soundly defeated Lima Senior 4-1 indoors at the Westwood Tennis and Fitness Club Wednesday evening.

Unseasonable snow and cold forced the match to be moved from Lima Senior to Westwood.

The purple and gold netters improved to 4-5 with the convincing win over the Div. I Spartans. 

All four Bulldog victories came in straight sets. Ada won 48 games to just 13 by LS in those four match wins.

Bulldog senior Miranda Wills improved to 5-4 this season at first singles with a straight-sets win over Spartan sophomore Keegan Halliday.
