AHS football defeats Knights in marathon battle

By Cort Reynolds

Hosting its home finale at War Memorial Park Stadium, Ada High School football defeated Crestview 34-26 in a seesaw Northwest Conference football marathon on a chilly Friday night, October 14.

"It was a great win for our program," said Ada second-year head coach Toby Smith. "We are doing a lot of good things, but we still have a ways to go," Smith added. "We are excited to have a chance to keep playing (beyond week 10)."

The Bulldogs improved to 3-6 overall and 2-4 in the NWC with their second win in three games. The victory kept Ada's hopes alive for a first playoff berth since 2017.
