Ada opens NWC play at Jefferson Friday

By Cort Reynolds

Ada shared the NWC title with DJ in 2013. The Bulldogs beat the Wildcats 25-20 and then 27-22 in the playoffs that fall, both times in Delphos. Since then Jefferson has won their last three meetings handily (10-0, 51-7 and 44-0 last year).

 

Despite their recent success, the Wildcats experienced an off-season head coaching change. Chris Sommers, who guided DJ to three straight outright NWC titles from 2014-16, left this past January to take over the reins at arch-rival Spencerville.

 

Wildcat assistant and Napoleon native Brandon Behnfeldt was moved up to replace Sommers at the Jefferson helm in February.
