HARROD - Host Allen East closed a spirited game on an 11-2 run to rally past backyard rival Ada 45-40 in the Northwest Conference boys basketball season opener Friday night in Harrod.
The Bulldogs fell to 0-5 and 0-1 in the NWC with the hard-fought loss, while the Mustangs improved to 4-1 and 1-0 in the NWC after the victory before a loud, raucous crowd.
Ada led 15-6 after an impressive first quarter led by senior guard Cade Mullins, who scored nine points in the stanza. AE chipped away and methodically built a six-point lead, yet the Bulldogs battled back to tie it 31-31 heading to the climactic final quarter.

Construction material included an assortment of jellybeans, candy canes, peppermint candy, gumdrops and, of course icing and graham crackers.
