OTTOVILLE - Unbeaten host Ottoville pulled away from a close game near halftime to post an 83-51 non-league win over the Ada boys basketball team Saturday night.  

 

The Bulldogs fell to 1-2 with their second road defeat in as many nights, while hot-shooting Ottoville improved to 4-0 with the win.

 

Ada trailed 18-13 after one period and was only down four late in the first half before the Big Green spurted to a 36-26 halftime lead.

 

Ottoville then poured in 28 third quarter points to extend the margin to 64-40 and put the game out of reach.
