The Bulldog boys soccer team will travel roughly 80 miles to play a Hardin County rival in a historic contest at Franklin County this Sunday evening, September 21.

Ada will play a rare game at the home of the Columbus Crew Major League Soccer franchise on Sept. 21 at 6:30 p.m. vs. local foe Kenton (7-1-2). 

”We have a special opportunity coming up this Sunday playing Kenton at lower.com field, home of the Columbus Crew,” said Ada head coach Aaron Acheson. “Kenton reached out to us last fall about making this happen.

“Very thankful that both schools and communities were able to pull together and make it happen for the players,” he continued. “There was a lot of planning and work that went into it.”

“It is not every day you get to step on a professional field, and I know the guys are excited to take advantage of it,” Acheson noted. “Kenton has had a strong season, and their record shows that.”

The Wildcats (2-1-2 WBL) suffered their first loss of the season at Western Buckeye League foe Celina on Thursday night, 1-0.

“We know we will have to be sharp in every phase of the game to compete with them,” the coach offered. “This game will be another chance to measure ourselves and see where we stand.”

Ada averages 2.5 goals a game and allows 1.4. Kenton scores 3.1 goals per match. Senior Josh Rich leads the Wildcats with 10 goals this season, while Allen tops Ada with 14. Conley has netted five goals.
