Ada's latest news

Ada swimming north of town

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, March 11, 2017

By Paul Logsdon, University Archivist

Before the municipal pool was opened, Ada residents could cool off at the lake called Welcome Park.

The lake was formed when a quarry operated by Grant Tressel flooded.

In 1924 bath houses, bathing pools, a 50 x 100 foot pavilion, and facilities for baseball and tennis were added along with picnic grounds and rides.

By 1943, with WWI raging, the park closed permanently.

The buildings and rides are long-gone, but the lake still remains opposite the Liberty Conservation Club

Injured Sumner places at state meet

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, March 11, 2017

COLUMBUS - Gutsy Ada junior wrestler Chase Sumner had his fine season ended by a severe high left ankle sprain in the 138 lb. bracket Friday at the Div. III state meet in Columbus at the Schottenstein Center.

 

Despite the injury, Sumner fought his way to the seventh-place match and finished his campaign with a sparkling 40-5 record. He became the first two-time state meet placer (top-eight finisher) in Bulldog wrestling history. 

 

The injured Sumner was pinned by Brian Persinger of Wooster Tri-way (42-8) in the consolation quarters Friday evening to end his dreams of a top-four finish.

We have lots of Friday night sideline photos

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, March 10, 2017

Monty Siekerman shares his photos from Friday night's ONU women's victory below:

• Celebration huddle after the game in mid court. The ONU women owned the court Saturday night, decisively beating a team which had only 1 loss all season.

• Standing next to the trophy in King Horn, are Joe Campoli, coach of the 1993 ONU men's basketball team which won the NCAA Division III national tournament, and ONU coach head women's coach Michelle Durand, who just might take home a similar trophy next weekend. When the women win (hopefully) Saturday at King Horn, it's off to the Final Four in Grand Rapids, Mich.
