New Ada varsity head coach Vince Halliday realizes the challenges inherent to rebuilding the Ada boys basketball program.
Three lettermen and one full-time starter return from a Bulldog team that finished 3-19 overall as they dropped seven close games. Ada also went 1-7 in Northwest Conference play.
Halliday served as the head girls varsity coach at Lima Senior for the past 14 seasons, compiling the most wins in program history (161) at a slightly-above .500 clip.
"I will be the third head coach in three years for the seniors, so I told the group they all have a clean slate to start out with me," noted Halliday after he was hired.
