RAWSON - The Ada girls soccer team trailed by only a goal at halftime, but ended up losing 7-0 at Cory-Rawson Wednesday evening.

Ada fell to 2-7 overall and 1-2 in North Central Ohio Soccer Association action with the defeat. C-R improved to 6-4 overall and 2-1 in NCOSA play with the win.

Lanie Kempf scored the first goal 12:05 into the fray on an assist from Zoe Chisholm. 

The Lady Hornets then poured on a six-goal barrage in the second half to put the game out of reach.

So, you think you know Ada. The answer to "Society" is below. It's part of the message on the Ada school wall reading: Children are the tomorrow of society.
