The Ada watertower painting is underway. And the Ada High School football stadium is looking pretty good also, thanks to a well-deserved overhaul.

The stadium work has a hometown touch. Tom Wilcox of T.J. Painting and Repair was awarded the stadium paint job. It includes adding some purple and gold to the stadium plus a complete new coat of white.

Bulldog fans will also find a golden bulldog on his haunches under the press box. Fans will also appreciate an update on the two popular football players on the press box back side.
