COLUMBUS GROVE - The Ada cross country team kicked off their season by running in the 25-team Columbus Grove Invitational Saturday morning.

"All the kids took 1-3 minutes off of their times we recorded in practice Wednesday, and competed well," said first-year head coach Josh Klein. "I am very happy with their performance; it is a great way to start the season."

Freshman Abbie James took 11th in the 110-runner girls race with a time of 20:48 over the 3.1-mile course to post the top Bulldog finish.

Eric Armbrecht paced the Ada boys with a time of 19:43, good for 90th in the huge 164-boy field of big and small school runners.

Intense pressure from the stingy Arlington defense slowed Ada's high octane offense last Friday night as the Red Devils invaded Ada's War Memorial Stadium and stole a 20-7 non-conference victory. The loss moves the Bulldogs to 1-1 on the season.

BOX SCORE AS ATTACHMENT -

Arlington built a 14-0 halftime lead behind an Evan O'Rear 3 yard touchdown run and a 25 yard Matt Crawford to Caleb Price touchdown pass. The Red Devils struck again early in the third quarter when Gage Beck plunged in for a 3 yard score.
