ADA__The Ada High School softball team opened its 2024 campaign with a decisive 14-0 shutout over county rival Hardin Northern Monday, on March 25. 

The Bulldogs start out 1-0 with the non-league victory.

The Polar Bears, under new head coach Rob Overs, who served as an Ada assistant the past two seasons, are 0-1.

Junior Jenna Bassitt struck out 14 Polar Bears and allowed just one hit in hurling a five-inning shutout.

“The pitching was good,” Ada head coach Jeff Bassitt. “It is nice to get the first win, but we still have a lot of work to get done. Hardin Northern has a nice young team with a lot of potential.”
