The Ada High School football team was beaten soundly 48-0 by local rival Bluffton in their last Northwest Conference matchup to spoil Bulldog Homecoming at War Memorial Stadium Friday night, September 22.

The big-play Pirate offense scored two early touchdowns, and Bluffton was in control throughout.

Junior back Landen Worcester authored four TD runs and racked up 211 yards rushing to lead the potent Pirate ground attack.

Bluffton improved to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the NWC with the decisive win.

Ada fell to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in the NWC after suffering their third consecutive defeat.

During the first half, hard-nosed Bulldog junior quarterback Levi Green was sidelined with a sprained right ankle and missed the rest of the game.
