ADA - Struggling Ada will attempt to finish the 2018 season on a high note by continuing its dominance over backyard league rival Allen East this Friday.
But extending their 13-game win string over the traditional foe Mustangs will be a tough task on the road for the Bulldogs, who enter the fray having lost five in a row by an average of 41 points a game.
AE (4-5, 3-3 NWC) competed hard but fell at home to co-league leader Columbus Grove in week nine by a 28-14 score, but will be fired up to end their long losing skid to the rival Bulldogs. CG defeated Ada 56-7 in week six.
