ADA - Behind all-everything senior quarterback Brandon Hull, the 2020 Ada football team looks to rebound from another injury-plagued season amid uncharted waters in a pandemic-affected campaign featuring a unique schedule.
The Bulldogs are coming off their second straight 2-8 season (1-6 Northwest Conference) ravaged by injuries.
An explosive offense could help the Bulldogs return to .500 or better, but the porous defense must improve greatly to achieve that goal.

ADA - The Ada girls soccer team kicked off its 2020 campaign at home Saturday with a 2-0 loss vs. visiting Tiffin Columbian.
TC scored both goals in the first half, including one in the first two minutes. Then their second goal was netted with just nine seconds left before intermission.
"It was a tough loss," said new Lady Bulldog head coach A.J. Wahlie of his debut. "Ella Marshall, a freshman, had a fantastic game for us at center back.
"While it wasn't the result we wanted, it was a fantastic learning opportunity for our group," he noted. "We started four freshmen who really grew as the 80 minutes went on."

I just want to send out a big thank to all those who made summer a little more like a “normal” summer with the Ada swimming pool being open!
A big thank you to the Ada Village Council for having the courage to say “yes!” to having the pool open; knowing it was a big risk, knowing it was going to take a lot of work to get the pool ready, and knowing there was not much money to be made from this (if any).
A big thank you to the Village administration for all their work in preparing the pool. The entrance and exit set-up were both safe and smooth, following all the protocols necessary. Well designed!
