Four lucky ticket holders won prizes in the 2023 Ada Lions Club raffle drawing on October 11. All 4,500 tickets were sold with the lure of the big first place prize: two tickets to the October 21 Ohio State vs. Penn State football game and an overnight stay at a Columbus area Choice hotel.

Purchasers were also tempted by the second prize: an OSU bench crafted by Allen County Fabrication, third prize of $100 cash and fourth prize of $50.00 cash.

Lion Jill Simmons did the honors of drawing the winning tickets with these results:

1st place) Lion Mike Lenhart

2nd place) Brett Rogers

3rd place) Jerry Hawk

4th place) Matt Hughes

Raffle co-chairman Ted Prueter thanked everyone who sold tickets and announced that the proceeds would be divided equally between the Lions scholarship and the Charles “Bud” Hawkins Memorial Scholarship; each will receive approximately $1800.

Marshall, Burkhart, Sizemore lead Ada girls soccer honorees

By Cort Reynolds

The Ada girls soccer team placed seven players on the All-North Central Ohio Soccer Association teams in voting recently conducted by the league coaches.

Second-year head coach Doug Dewese was voted North Central Ohio Soccer Association Coach of the Year.

He led Ada to a program record-tying seven wins and a 7-5-3 overall regular season record. The Bulldog girls were 2-2-1 in the rugged NCOSA to finish third out of six teams, believed to be the best league finish in team history.

Ada senior Ella Marshall repeated again as first team All-North Central Ohio Soccer Association for the fourth straight season.

She broke her own Ada program single-season record with 19 goals, and she also set the mark for career goals with 50.
