DELPHOS - Seven Ada football players earned All-Northwest Conference notice in voting recently conducted by the league coaches.
Junior receiver Zac Swaney was voted to the first team all-league offense after leading the NWC in receptions with 62 catches for just under 800 yards and nine touchdowns.
Junior quarterback Brandon Hull was named to the second team all-conference offense. He threw for over 2,100 yards with 20 TDs, and rushed for just over 1,000 yards with 12 TDs to lead the league in total offense.
Hull finished second in the NWC with 104 points. He was also voted honorable mention All-NWC as a defensive back.
Ada council approved the hiring a new patrol officer and a construction-maintenance employee on Nov. 5, in addition to several other actions.
Among council action includes the following:
• Hired Victoria Sturgill as a full-time police officer effective Jan. 2, 2020. Her hiring is a result of a vacancy on the department with the resignation of Sgt. Purdy. Sturgill will serve a one-year probation period at $17.70 per hour. She recently graduated from Rhodes State College with an associate’s degree in law enforcement. She is also a graduate of the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy.
I am a creature of routine. I cannot tell if I have always been this way or if I were driven to it by having children.
I find my children thrive in routine - regular meal times, set bedtimes, a structured pattern to the rest and play of their day. My own children are so driven by routine that even on vacation, far from home, my daughter will ask "Where will we have quiet time after lunch today, Mommy?"
If my two-year-old doesn't nap, my eye starts twitching. And if we don't go to the library on Tuesdays, then the whole day is off-kilter.
I don't deal well with changes in my structured routine.
