Cheerleaders rev up the crowd at the bonfire on Wednesday evening at the Ada Schools in anticipation of the Homecoming game on Friday evening.

The band was there to add enthusiasm. Football players, students in all grades, parents, school staff were all there to fire up the crowd. Even a few firemen (and their truck) were on hand to keep an eye on the flames.

Unexpectedly, the Ada Icon camera caught a few Hawaiians, a puppy, and a walking banana at the bonfire. It was a perfect evening for a pep rally at twilight.

RAWSON - The visiting Ada girls soccer team lost 7-1 at Cory-Rawson Wednesday evening.

Ada fell to 3-4 overall with the defeat.

C-R scored early on a through ball that got past the Ada defense to grab a 1-0 edge. About 10 minutes later, the Lady Hornets extended the lead to 2-0 on a similar goal and the score that way into halftime.

"It was pretty evenly matched for the first 15 minutes," said Bulldog head coach Doug Poling. "We played on our heels the rest of the first half."

Ada tallied its lone goal early in half two when Katie Butterfield put a through ball by Timberlyn Blankenship into the back of the net.
