Ada girl cagers stymied at Jefferson

Morgan Bass: "We played hard until the final buzzer, which is all I ever ask for"

By Cort Reynolds
DELPHOS - Delphos Jefferson ran out to an 18-0 lead over the visiting Ada girls basketball team and cruised to a 59-18 Northwest Conference win Thursday evening.

Ali and Liv Lindeman combined for 35 points to lead DJ to the triumph. Jefferson dominated the offensive glass, canning several stickback baskets.

Plagued by turnovers, the Lady Bulldogs were scoreless until the 11th minute. 

"Delphos is a great team," said Ada third-year head coach Morgan Bass. "They played the best defense we've seen all year. 

"We felt their pressure and struggled to find shot opportunities at times," she added.
