TIFFIN – The Ada High School boys soccer team kicked off its 2025 season with a convincing 6-1 win at Tiffin Columbian on Saturday, August 16.
The Bulldogs raced to a 5-0 halftime bulge and cruised to victory.
“We really shared the ball well,” said Ada head coach Aaron Acheson. “We had five assists on six goals, and it is great to see five different players on the scoresheet.
“Our defenders were key in creating attacking opportunities, quickly transitioning the ball and setting up our midfield and forwards for better chances,” he continued.

“We dominated the game and out-shot them 28-4,” said fourth-year Ada head coach Doug Dewese. “We had one mental lapse at the start of the second half that cost us a goal and tied it 1-1.”
Ada led 1-0 at the half as senior Kenley Poling tallied the season’s first goal via an assist from freshman Maycie Dewese about 10 minutes before intermission.
The Tornadoes then tied it briefly very early in the second half.

Now the task for 2025 and beyond is to carry that momentum forward.
Along with returning talent, Bulldog alumnus Aaron Acheson engineered much of the season revival in his first year as head coach with high energy, positivity and soccer knowledge.
