ADA__The Ada High School football team defeated visiting Arlington in a 41-28 shootout to celebrate the home and Blanchard Valley Conference opener on a hot night Friday, September 4 at War Memorial Stadium.

Ada jumped out to leads of 15-0 and 22-6 at the half but had to stave off a rally by the potent Red Devils. Scrappy Arlington pulled within 29-28 in the fourth quarter. But Ada responded well by scoring two straight touchdowns to clinch the victory.
