ARLINGTON__The Ada High School varsity golf team teed off its regular season with a strong second-place showing at the 10-team Arlington Invitational on the Sycamore Springs Golf Course Thursday, July 30.
The Bulldog linksters finished only three strokes behind first-place Arcadia, 377-380.
Ada senior Brody Rister took second overall individually with a solid 18-hole score of 43-40=83.
“Remarkably, 57 strokes were cut from last year’s results,” said second-year Ada head coach Tod Schmidt of the Bulldog team improvement at the same event in 2026.

In 1973, Jim Croce released his album titled You Don’t Mess Around with Jim. The album contained his second number one hit, “Time in a Bottle.” Unfortunately, this song hit the charts after his tragic death in a plane crash in 1973 in Louisiana after performing a concert. Jim Croce’s son A. J. would turn 2 years old eight days after his father’s death. As an adult, A. J. pays tribute to his dad with his 2026 tour, which is called Croce Plays Croce.
On Monday evenings, you’ll find Ada-Liberty Fire Department crew members training for whatever fate throws their way. On this July night, fire truck water storage and transfer were discussed in the station meeting room, followed by a session in the garage trying out new batteries for powering rescue equipment.
