The Ada varsity wrestling program looks to be improved behind a deep sophomore class under veteran head coach/co-athletic director Eric Perkins.
Eight grapplers on the relatively youthful roster are returning lettermen. That experienced group will combine with several newcomers, including two girls, to form a potentially solid squad.
Ten of the 19 wrestlers on the roster are sophomores, with just one senior on the squad. Five juniors and three freshmen complete the roster.

Basketball fan Samuel Albert recorded an improptu performance of the national anthem at the November 29 Ada High School girls basketball game vs. Hardin Northern. When the pre-recorded version didn't play, the audience filled in enthusiastically with an a capella version.
Samuel posted his appreciation and video on Facebook HERE.
The Ada High School girls basketball team defeated visiting county rival Hardin Northern 39-25 behind a fourth quarter defensive stand in a hard-fought matchup Tuesday night, November 29.
Ada led 25-23 heading to the fourth period, and held Northern without a field goal in the final quarter to win going away.
The Bulldogs improved to 1-2 with their first victory, while HN fell to 1-1 with the non-league defeat.
The Polar Bears sank just one field goal in the final 10 minutes against the stingy Ada defense.
