ARLINGTON - Following a nine-day layoff, the Ada volleyball team faced Hardin County foe Ridgemont in second round Div. IV sectional competition at Arlington Thursday night.
After receiving a bye to begin defense of its district crown, rust was not a factor as the Lady Bulldogs took down the Golden Gophers in straight sets with relative ease by a 25-11, 25-12, 25-16 count.
With the win, third seed Ada improved to 12-11 and advanced to the district semifinals at Findlay vs. top seed Arlington (18-5). Ridgemont, which beat Cory-Rawson in the first round, ends its season 12-9 after the defeat.
The Ada Music Boosters will have a craft show from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday in what is known as the ‘86 Gym.

There will be concessions, as well. Admission is $3 with children 5 and under free. The organizers say, “Come get a jump on your Christmas shopping and support our amazing music programs.”
Here is an example of a few items from one booth.
