CONTINENTAL – The visiting Ada High School girls basketball team used a second quarter explosion to whip non-conference foe Continental 52-16 and earn their first win of the season on the afternoon of December 21.

The Bulldogs led 12-8 after the first period. But they poured in 26 second-period points to grab a 38-12 lead at halftime, and cruised to the victory.

The convincing win improved the Bulldog record to 1-7 overall. The Pirate girls dropped to 1-8 after the blowout defeat.

“The girls played well from the start,” said Ada third-year head coach Zach Ricker. “We shot well.”

“It was good for the girls and to build their confidence,” he said of getting the first victory.
