KENTON - The Ada boys golf team defeated county foe Ridgemont at the Kenton Golf Course Wednesday to earn their first victory of the young season.

The Bulldogs beat the Gophers 247-259 in a tight dual match.

"It's very nice to get a win early in the season," said Ada head coach Jason Campbell. "It will help make practice better and more fun; you have to enjoy the wins when you get them."

Ada was led by junior Jake Colwell, who shot a career-best 57 over nine holes to take third individually in the dual match.

Bulldog freshman Brevin Sizemore registered a 60. Ada junior Austin Amburgey posted a 64 while sophomore Alex Morgan added a 66.

Carson Jones of Ridgemont was match medalist with a score of 54, while teammate Landon Roof carded a 55 to finish second. Payne shot 72 and Collins 78 for the Gophers.
