ADA - Visiting McComb forged a 12-0 fourth quarter flurry to upend Ada 49-43 in non-league boys basketball action Saturday night.

The difficult defeat dropped the Bulldog record to 4-15, while the Panthers improved to 3-13 with the victory.

"We had 18 turnovers and shot 29 percent from the foul line, you're not going to beat anyone that way," said Ada first-year head coach Dre White.
