The Ada High School girls soccer team received a fifth seed in their rugged 12-team super sectional drawing on Sunday, October 5.

Ada (10-3-2) will host Kalida (5-8-1) on Tuesday, Oct. 14 in their first round match. The Bulldog girls recently shut out the Wildcats 2-0 in Ada on Sept 27.

“The super sectional set-up helped us to host,” said Ada fourth-year head coach Doug Dewese. “A lot of the higher-seeded teams went to the lower part of our bracket because if they win out, they get a pretty favorable run to regionals.”

From Your Putnam County School Superintendents

Dear Putnam County Residents,

As your local school superintendents, we write to you not as politicians or advocates, but as fellow parents, community members, and stewards of the education system that defines the heart of Putnam County. We share your frustration with rising property taxes.

We, too, open those tax bills with concern. But today, we must share the complete picture of what's happening in our state – and what it means for the services we all depend on.
