The 2021-22 Ada girls basketball team enters its fourth season under head coach Morgan Bass hoping to combat low roster numbers behind their three experienced returning guards.
Just nine players comprise the program, so there is no junior varsity squad this season.
Five letter winners and three starters are back from a team that went 5-15 overall (1-7 in Northwest Conference) last season.
"We are going to roll with who we have," said Bass. "It is tough because we have a lack of numbers for practice."
It wasn’t much, but it was white and frozen. The first snow of the season fell on Sunday, November 14, briefly accumulating in the Ada area. The Icon offers the following refresher on preparing for winter.
