TROY - Three Ada wrestlers competed in the Div. III district tournament at Troy's Hobart Arena Friday and Saturday to finish their season strongly, led by one Bulldog freshman placing sixth.

"We wrestled hard all weekend," said Ada head coach David Ames. "We fought hard and wrestled tough." 

The double-elimination tournament format allows wrestlers who lose one match to still finish as high as third by making their way through the consolation draw.

After a promising start, Ada freshman Clayton McClain went 2-3 in the 113 lbs. division to finish sixth and narrowly miss state qualification.

Was it lovelier the second time around? Emphatically yes.

Everyone could use a little needling now and then. Especially now.

And, everyone who gets the Needle should tell others to get it. That would make the world a better, safer place. So, I’m telling you about it.

Plus, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced today: “Fully vaccinated people can gather indoors without masks with other vaccinated people and small groups of unvaccinated people in some circumstances.”

Our best guess is that this is a class photo of the 1973 Ada High School seniors. It's in the '73 yearbook inside 2-page spread. But, there's no label that goes with the photo.
