Ada opens NWC play at Jefferson tonight

By Cort Reynolds

ADA - Ada will try to rebound from a disappointing loss in their home opener to LCC when they kick off Northwest Conference play at four-time defending league champion Delphos Jefferson Friday.

Ada (2-1) can get a leg up on its quest for a first NWC title since 2013 with a win at the Wildcats. But they will have to play much better than they did in the 41-21 loss to LCC.

After a mostly close first half, the dangerous Jeff-Cats (2-1) hammered Paint Valley 54-20 last Saturday afternoon. Jefferson previously lost to Shawnee 27-6 at home in their opener, then edged past Versailles 14-7 in week two.
