Andy Stackert, an Ada Wolf Scout, helps at the Ada Food Pantry on Saturday morning. He is the son of Dennis and Amy Stackert.

The Scouts collected many sacks of nonperishable food when they went door-to-door on Saturday to replenish the pantry supply.

The food pantry is not government run, thus there are no restrictions on who can have free food. The pantry is open from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturdays and from 4-6 p.m. on Tuesdays.

Propelled by a dominant rushing attack, Allen East opened up a 30 point first half lead last Friday night and never looked back as the Mustangs defeated the visiting Bulldogs, 51-0.  Ada's sixth consecutive loss puts an end to a challenging season for first year head coach Shawn Christopher as his Bulldogs finish the 2018 gridiron campaign 2-8 and 1-8 in the Northwest Conference.

Led by junior Bryce Belcher's 143 yards and three touchdowns, the Mustangs amassed 296 yards rushing and scored five of their seven touchdowns on the ground.    

As a team, Allen East out-gained the Bulldogs in total offense, 521 yards to 180.

An all-morning, drippy-drizzle didn’t dampen the enthusiasm for the ONU Homecoming parade as units traveled down Main Street on Saturday morning. In fact, it could be said that the parade-goers and the float-riders were the most boisterous in the past 50 years.

Rain cut the number of parade spectators, but those on hand clapped and yelled louder than ever as the fire trucks, floats, and bands traveled past. And, those on floats returned the clamor of the bystanders.
