Ada's latest news

By Dusty Donley

Behind 434 yards of total offense, tough NWCC champion Riverside rolled in first round playoff action, defeating the Ada Bulldogs 32-7.

The Pirates, seeded fourth in the Division VII, Region 26 computer rankings, racked up 361 rushing yards in route to the lopsided victory. The loss ends Ada's season, as the Bulldogs finish with a 6-5 overall record.

The Bulldogs scored their only points of the game late in the second quarter when Junior quarterback Trent Jolliff hit Senior Blake Ansley for a 38-yard touchdown. Aaron Everhart's point after kick cut the Riverside lead to 9-7, but that was as close as Ada would get.

6 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
½ c. Margarine, melted
1 c. fine dried bread crumbs
Salt and pepper

Wash and dry the potatoes. Dip in margarine, then crumbs, coating well. Repeat. Put on a shallow baking dish.

Add salt and pepper. Add any remaining margarine and crumbs on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn over and bake 20-30 minutes more until golden brown.
