Homecoming at Ohio Northern University.

That means lots of things. Let's focus on one of those: a parade. Let's see, you need a polar bear, bands, cheerleaders, floats and a large crowd.

Saturday in downtown Ada had all those elements. Monty Siekerman captured many of the parade highlights and the Icon shares his photos with viewers.

The Ada footballers saw their four-game winning streak come to an end Friday night, as the powerful Delphos Jefferson Wildcats came to town and blanked the Bulldogs, 44-0. 

The loss eliminates Ada from NWC title contention and drops the Dogs to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the league.

The Wildcats racked up 38 first half points behind a menacing ground game powered by senior Hunter Binkley, enroute to the 44 point shutout.  DJ has beaten Ada in three straight, the last two by a combined score of 95-7.

The Bulldogs will attempt to start a new win streak this Friday night when they take the show on the road to Allen East.
