AHS varsity boys basketball coach let go

By Cort Reynolds

Ada High School head varsity boys basketball coach Vince Halliday was relieved of his duties Wednesday after three seasons at the helm of the Bulldog boys program.

The Bulldogs finished 5-18 this past season and went 0-8 in the Northwest Conference. Ada played a lineup comprised mostly of freshmen and sophomores this past season.

“It was a tough year, which we all knew (it probably would be),” said Halliday. “I just didn’t know I wasn’t going to get the opportunity to continue on.

“The best is yet to come for the program, I really believe that,” Halliday noted of the young team’s potential.

Halliday reported that he was notified of the decision in a Wednesday meeting with Ada athletic director Ken Jochims and principal Dan Lee.
