Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, October 27, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
The comedy murder mystery at The Inn on Friday and Saturday nights is sold out.

The Inn has been hosting dinner theatre shows for the past several years, and they have proven popular. The thespians are from NOTFA (Northern Ohio Theatre Fraternity Association) which is made up, primarily, of Lima and Findlay residents.

This weekend's show was written by and is directed by Jim Toth of Findlay, who has now written 11 comedy/murder shows, plus many more. The BGSU grad majored in theatre and speech, has performed since the 1960s, and began writing scripts 20 years ago. His works have been performed throughout the country.

With Ada’s 42-17 win over Bluffton on Friday, the Bulldogs stayed in contention for the playoffs. They rose to seventh in the unofficial Division 6 Region 22 rankings (the top eight make it in), and now have a 72 percent chance of making the playoffs, according to high school football analyst Drew Pasteur’s acclaimed Ohio Fantastic 50 projections.

Ada will need to win on Friday against Allen East in their regular season finale, however, and they will also need some help. Here is who Bulldog fans should be rooting for on Friday night to help their team make it into the playoffs:

Bulldogs host neighborhood foe AE in finale

ADA - Ada entertains backyard rival Allen East Friday for the regular season finale in another must-win situation to keep their post-season hopes alive.

The Bulldogs (6-3, 4-2 NWC) whipped visiting Bluffton 42-17 last Friday while AE lost 27-21 at Columbus Grove. The Mustangs (2-7, 1-5 NWC) would like nothing better than to play spoiler and knock Ada out of a potential playoff berth.

Fifth-year Bulldog head coach Bob Olwin (33-21 at Ada) feels AE is much better than its 2-7 record indicates. "They are young up front and lost a lot of skill players from last year," he explained.
