Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, February 8, 2018

By Grant Pepper
Last Friday night, the Ada High School boys' basketball team won a double-overtime thriller at Spencerville, 48-45. Ada (4-14, 2-3 NWC) won their first NWC road game since Feb. 6, 2015 and also recorded their first road win of the season (now 1-8 as visitors).

The Bulldogs rallied from a six-point halftime deficit to tie Spencerville (2-13, 1-4) at 38 at the end of regulation. After Spencerville freshman Dalton Pritchard hit a tough two-point shot to send the game into a second overtime, Ada closed the game out by winning the final period, 6-3.
