ADA __The Ada High School softball team used a balanced offense and solid three-girl pitching to overcome the rain and visiting local rival Bluffton 9-4 on a warm but wet Tuesday evening, March 31.
The Bulldog girls jumped ahead with a five-run first inning, held off a Pirate rally and then finished strong with late insurance runs to stay undefeated.
Streaking Ada improved to 5-0 with the victory. Bluffton fell to 1-1 after the loss to their former long-time Northwest Conference foe.

FROM FACEBOOK__Ada Schools is excited to celebrate our March Bulldogs of the Month! These exceptional students were nominated by their teachers for consistently showing kindness, leadership, responsibility, and true Bulldog pride. Their positive attitudes and strong character make a meaningful difference in our schools each day. We are proud of the example they set for others.
Congratulations to our March Bulldogs of the Month!
Over spring break, Ohio Northern history professor Russ Crawford took his World War Memory students to London, Portsmouth, Normandy, Caen, Rouen, and Paris. He shares, "We made arrangements to rub Omaha Beach sand into the headstones of 4 Hardin County soldiers buried there. Unfortunately, our bus driver made several wrong turns, so we arrived too late. However, the people at the American Cemetery at Colleville went out the next day and found two of the graves, and sanded them. In Paris, we were able to take part in the Rekindling the Flame (to the Unknown Soldier) at the Arc de Triomphe. Sudents Courtney Garrison, Ayla Avila, and Russell Moorman laid a wreath as part of the ceremony."
