Ada welcomes traditional backyard arch-rival Allen East to War Memorial Stadium next Friday to climax the season in a battle of teams with identical 3-6 overall records.
It looks to be the last Northwest Conference game for Ada (1-5 NWC) after 60 years in the league, fittingly against their biggest gridiron rival.
In the 21st century the Bulldogs lead the heated series 14-9, highlighted by a 13-game win streak from 2005-17.
But the Mustangs (2-4 NWC) have taken the last five meetings in a row, all in decisive fashion, including 52-7 last year in Harrod. AE also captured four of the five matchups from 2000-04.

Although midwives have been around for hundreds of years, the term midwife is one that not many are able to clearly define. There is often confusion surrounding the many types of midwives and the span of roles a midwife might play.
Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNM) are highly trained providers who first are educated and trained as registered nurses, then choose to attend accredited universities, followed by passing a midwifery board-certified examination. CNMs also must maintain their licensures every five years by completing a number of continuing education requirements. In Ohio, CNMs work in collaboration with physicians and deliver babies in hospitals and birth centers. In contrast, lay midwives learn their skills through apprenticeship and are not legally recognized by the state they practice in and deliver babies in homes.
Three Bluffton ghost story talks by Fred Steiner take place this upcoming week, according to the author of the newly released “Where Bluffton’s Ghosts Sleep.”
The talks, presented with PowerPoint graphics, are open to the public on the following dates:
The Ada High School football team lost 56-6 to league co-leader Columbus Grove in their annual Northwest Conference Bulldog battle Friday night, October 13, at War Memorial Stadium.
Grove scored touchdowns on all six of its first half possessions to build a 42-0 halftime lead and win going away to stay tied for first place in the NWC.
Ada dropped to 3-6 overall and 1-5 in league play with their second straight defeat. The loss eliminated Ada from playoff contention.
