ADA - Host Ada shot its way to a big halftime lead and held on to beat feisty North Baltimore 63-51 in a foul-filled boys basketball bout Tuesday night.
The teams combined for 26 second-half fouls in the chippy and lengthy contest, and 36 overall.
Ada junior Cayden Murphy returned from an ankle sprain that forced him to miss the last game vs. Crestview, and led the victors with 19 points.
Bulldog senior guard Micah Cook drained three three-pointers in the second period as Ada built a 27-14 halftime advantage.

We need honest debate about climate change to yield the best result for everyone. The best way to do this is to use science and facts.
I have faith in humanity. I believe that when people know better, they do better. It is the fault of many politicians and media that we are not exposed to the facts about climate change.
I would be very surprised if you have already heard all of the numbers that I am going to show you. Everyone deserves to know these numbers, but hardly anyone is talking about them.
