Columbus Grove scored 28 first half points before Ada junior signal caller Phillip Coulson connected with sophomore Zac Swaney on a 22-yard touchdown.  Junior Dylan East’s extra point kick was good, giving Ada their only points of the game with just under three minutes to play in the second quarter.
