MARIA STEIN - Host Marion Local powered its way to a big early lead and convincingly defeated Ada 57-29 in Div. IV first round sectional girls basketball play Thursday evening.
Third-seeded ML led 8-0 and built an 18-4 advantage after one period of play. The Flyers stretched the margin to 34-10 by halftime, led by 33 points at the three-quarter mark, and were never threatened.
Ada kept hustling and won the fourth quarter, 9-4.
Three ML girls tallied double figures as nine of the 15 Flyers who saw action scored in their balanced attack.
Ada school's anticipated teacher and staff vaccination date originally set for Feb. 19 is rescheduled for Friday, Feb. 26.
Meri Skillier, Ada superintendent said, "We were planning a two-hour delay on Friday, Feb. 19, in order to accommodate the Covid 19 vaccination of our teachers and staff.
"As is consistent with this world over the last 11 months, we’ve run into a small roadblock.
"Because of the widespread winter weather systems across the Midwest and the East coast, the shipment of vaccines earmarked for Ada Schools and aimed toward our provider, Ohio Northern University, have been delayed."
