ADA - A lone senior returns to pace the youthful Ada cross country team this fall.

Veteran Hunter Wells is back to run the grueling sport for fourth-year head coach Josh Klein, whose combined boys/girls roster boasts nine runners. There is only one female on the team.

"We are really young and inexperienced," admitted Klein. "But the most exciting part is working with a mostly young group that is new to cross country."

Ada lost eight runners from last season, mostly to graduation, including ace Miguel Jordan. Three lettermen return in 2019.

MILLER CITY - The visiting Ada boys soccer team played to a 3-3 tie at Miller City Monday evening.

The Bulldogs (0-1-1) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first half as Jacob Poling and Skylar Williams each scored for Ada.

MC then roared back with three unanswered goals to take a 3-2 lead to intermission.

But Poling tied it up with his second goal just over 10 minutes into the second half, and the game remained scoreless the rest of the way.

Isaac Spar dished out two assists and Williams added one assist for Ada. Keeper Grant Preston was credited with 10 saves in goal.
