By Cort Reynolds

ADA - Using sharp shooting and a strong fullcourt press, a deep Columbus Grove girls basketball squad soundly defeated host Ada 66-36 Thursday night in the Northwest Conference opener.

The purple and gold lost their home lidlifter to fall to 1-1 overall and 0-1 in the NWC, while conference favorite CG improved to 2-0 and 1-0 in league play with the decisive victory.

Quick Grove pressed and shot its way to an early 9-0 lead, and never was headed. Two three-point goals by Rylee Sybert and four layups by 6-0 junior post Paige Bellman propelled CG to a 25-7 lead after one period of play.

He said his sister saw the inflatable decoration for sale and sent it to the Whittens to add to their collection of inflatables which have been placed along a fence.

The blown-up Santa even opens and closes the door. Note the toilet paper is the outside...now that would be inconvenient. (Monty Siekerman photo)
