On Tuesday, April 14, the Ada Rotary Club hosted five candidates who are competing for an open Hardin County Commission seat. Each was given an opportunity to outline qualifications and share their vision for the county’s future.
MARION __The visiting Ada High School tennis team lost 5-0 to Marion Harding at the Grant Tennis Center on Monday, April 13.
The Bulldog netters fell to 0-2 after the loss.
“It was just our second match, while Marion Harding has played five,” said first-year Ada head coach Shelleigh Alexander. “We have some new partnerships in doubles so it will take a little time to develop chemistry, but I think they are coming together.”
ADA__The Ada High School baseball team was beaten soundly 25-3 by visiting Blanchard Valley Conference leader Elmwood on a warm Monday, April 13 at War Memorial Park.
The Royals pounded out 22 hits and eight doubles in the win. They scored three runs in the first inning and plated six in the third to build a 9-3 lead.
Elmwood then poured 16 runs across the plate in the top of the fifth to invoke the 10-run mercy rule.
Ada dropped to 5-3 overall and 1-2 in the BVC with the home loss.
First-place Elmwood improved to 5-4-1 overall and 3-0 in BVC play after the road win.
ADA __One big inning spelled the difference in a taut battle of 10-0 softball unbeatens on a warm Monday, April 13 at War Memorial Park.
Visiting Elmwood broke open a scoreless battle with a four-run fifth inning and held on for a 4-0 victory over the Ada High School softball team in a Blanchard Valley Conference showdown to hand the Bulldogs their first loss.
A pivotal three-run home run by Trinity Sander in the fifth gave the Royals a 4-0 lead. The Bulldog girls were unable to muster much offense against the Royals and pitcher Addi Hoffman, who induced some clutch strikeouts in key situations with runners on base.
