ADA - Ada will try to rebound from a disappointing loss in their home opener to LCC when they kick off Northwest Conference play at four-time defending league champion Delphos Jefferson Friday.

Ada (2-1) can get a leg up on its quest for a first NWC title since 2013 with a win at the Wildcats. But they will have to play much better than they did in the 41-21 loss to LCC.

After a mostly close first half, the dangerous Jeff-Cats (2-1) hammered Paint Valley 54-20 last Saturday afternoon. Jefferson previously lost to Shawnee 27-6 at home in their opener, then edged past Versailles 14-7 in week two.

Ada opens NWC play at Jefferson Friday

Ada shared the NWC title with DJ in 2013. The Bulldogs beat the Wildcats 25-20 and then 27-22 in the playoffs that fall, both times in Delphos. Since then Jefferson has won their last three meetings handily (10-0, 51-7 and 44-0 last year).

 

Despite their recent success, the Wildcats experienced an off-season head coaching change. Chris Sommers, who guided DJ to three straight outright NWC titles from 2014-16, left this past January to take over the reins at arch-rival Spencerville.

 

Wildcat assistant and Napoleon native Brandon Behnfeldt was moved up to replace Sommers at the Jefferson helm in February.
