With Ada’s 42-17 win over Bluffton on Friday, the Bulldogs stayed in contention for the playoffs.

Bulldogs host neighborhood foe AE in finale

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, October 27, 2017

ADA - Ada entertains backyard rival Allen East Friday for the regular season finale in another must-win situation to keep their post-season hopes alive.

The Bulldogs (6-3, 4-2 NWC) whipped visiting Bluffton 42-17 last Friday while AE lost 27-21 at Columbus Grove. The Mustangs (2-7, 1-5 NWC) would like nothing better than to play spoiler and knock Ada out of a potential playoff berth.

Fifth-year Bulldog head coach Bob Olwin (33-21 at Ada) feels AE is much better than its 2-7 record indicates. "They are young up front and lost a lot of skill players from last year," he explained.
