Freshman midfielder Levi King was named the OAC Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week recipient.
King put together a stellar week that included a team-high three assists and five points in the Polar Bears' 3-0 victory over D3soccer.com's No. 19-ranked Ohio Wesleyan Battling Bishops and their 4-2 triumph over the Oberlin Yeomen. The freshman also registered a goal and nine total shots over the two-match week.
Junior linebacker David Haseleu has been tabbed the OAC Football Defensive Player of the Week.
In the football team's recent 49-16 triumph over OAC foe Wilmington, the junior notched his first career interception, which he returned for a 37-yard pick-six, in the fourth quarter.
Haseleu also recorded six total tackles in the contest, including a sack and a tackle for a loss.
ADA - In a key early-conference battle, Ada concludes the first half of the 2018 campaign Friday when it entertains tough Spencerville in the fourth Bulldog home game of the first five weeks.
A win over the defending conference champion would boost Ada's playoff and conference title hopes considerably, while a loss would damage both aspirations.
The surging Bearcats (3-1, 2-0 NWC) defeated Allen East this past Friday 27-15 to record their third straight victory. Spencerville has outscored its opposition 120-82 in four games.
They lost to unbeaten LCC 34-19 in their opener, but then beat Parkway, Perry and AE.
Each year Ada has a Powder Puff football game pitting the AHS freshmen and sophomore girls against the juniors and seniors. Quarterbacks were Morgan Swick (left), a senior, and Miranda Wills, a sophomore. A Wilson made-in-Ada football was used, of course. Proceeds from the $2 ticket sales go toward prom expenses.
Charleen Gangemi is the winner of the 2018 quilt made by the United Methodist Women of Ada First United Methodist Church. The lucky ticket was drawn the afternoon of the Harvest and Herb Fest. All proceeds from ticket sales support mission projects.
HERE'S 20 PARADE PHOTOS BY MONTY SIEKERMAN
The 33rd annual Harvest and Herb Fest parade flowed down Main Street on Saturday morning with many Ada and ONU groups represented on farm wagons, in convertibles, in emergency vehicles, and on foot. Several out-of-town marchers participated, as well.
Junior Weihrauch organized the half-hour long parade that traveled from the ONU science complex parking lot, down Main Street to College Avenue.
Kids love a parade because all of the candy tossed toward them. Most youngsters end up with a sackful of goodies without going door-to door in the chilly weather which usually accompanies Halloween.
