ADA __ The Ada High School girls basketball team fell victim to a three-point barrage by traditional arch-rival Upper Scioto Valley in a 51-39 defeat Tuesday, January 28.
USV drained 11 three-point goals to spell the difference in the outcome. The Ram girls nailed three triples to spark a first-half ending 11-2 run. USV then drilled three more treys in the third period, including a four-point play, to build a 20-point lead.
Ada gamely fought back with a 15-point fourth period, but the deficit was too big to overcome.
