The Gator boys lost a close battle to the Sardines by a 208-190 score. Meanwhile, the Ada girls were beaten by a 317-122 count. Bluffton thus won the combined meet team score, 525-312.
The Ada boys and girls each fell to 1-1 in dual meets this summer with the losses.

To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.
Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.
Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.
The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.
