ADA - The rebuilding Ada boys golf program will be led by a returning senior and three juniors this season.
Eighth-year head coach Jason Campbell welcomes three lettermen, one other experienced player and two newcomers to the six-man squad in 2020.
Senior Jacob Morgan is the club's best golfer and its only returning senior. He will pull double duty as he also runs cross country for Ada this fall after golf season ends.
"Jacob is a leader and is mentally tough which shows on the course," said Campbell. "He is not negatively affected by mistakes and makes adjustments during matches. He will be our top golfer."
Iretta Wright, 88, passed away on Thursday, Aug. 27, 2020, at 5:57 p.m. at the Blanchard Valley Health System – Hospice, Findlay. Iretta was ready when the Lord called her.
