ADA - The youthful Ada girls basketball program has a new coach in a familiar face as all-time program scoring leader Morgan (Dumbaugh) Bass returns to take over the reins.
With no seniors and just two juniors to go with seven sophomores and four freshmen, the new head coach will have a very inexperienced varsity roster to work with.
The 2017-18 Lady Bulldogs finished 4-18 overall (0-8 in Northwest Conference) under veteran mentor Bill Taflinger, who resigned after the season.
