Ada sweeps Wildcats in county tilt By Cort Reynolds
ADA - The host Ada volleyball team won in straight sets over Hardin County rival Kenton Monday night to stay undefeated at home.
The lopsided 25-6, 25-10, 25-23 victory, their eighth win in the last nine matches, upped the Lady Bulldog record to 11-6 overall. Kenton fell to 1-8 with the loss.
Junior middle Melina Woods led Ada with nine kills, eight digs, two blocks and one ace.
"Olivia (Alexander) and Melina covered everything," said Ada head coach Melissa Gossard. "The back row did really well defensively."
