25-point first half deficit too much to overcome

Arlington downs Bulldogs in non-conference contest

By Dusty Donley
A 25 point first half deficit was too much for Ada to overcome as the visiting Arlington Red Devils marched into War Memorial Stadium and defeated the Bulldogs 37-6.  The first loss of the Shawn Christopher era drops the Dogs to 1-1 on the season.

Arlington struck twice in the opening quarter.  The first score came on a 5-yard Carter Essinger run.  Moments later, quarterback Jacob Russell connected with Jaret Vermillion on a 57-yard catch and carry.  Both extra point attempts were no good, leaving the Red Devils ahead 12-0 at the end of the first.
