COLDWATER - Ada broke away from a halftime tie with a big third quarter and went on to defeat New Knoxville 55-46 in boys Div. IV sectional semifinal play Tuesday night at Coldwater.
The Bulldogs improved to 6-17 with the victory and advanced to the sectional finals against top seed St. Henry Friday.
Meanwhile, the 10th-seeded Rangers end up 3-20 after suffering their eighth consecutive defeat. They lost 13 of their final 14 games after nipping Ads at NK 47-44 Jan. 5.
"It was not the start we were looking for, but we showed up in the second half and did what we needed to do," said Ada third-year head coach Dre White.
The March presentation of the “Living through Loss” series will be held on Monday, March 18, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and titled “The Food & Mood Connection.”
This presentation will take place in the Marathon Auditorium at Blanchard Valley Hospital located at 1900 S. Main St., Findlay.
“The Food & Mood Connection” will discuss how the foods you eat directly impact your whole health…mind, body and soul. Food is our primary source of energy, and this presentation will focus on how our body will naturally react with some foods better than others.
Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) has added advanced technology that will differentiate between essential tremor and parkinsonian syndromes (among other conditions). DaTscan is a radioactive injection into the patient’s bloodstream to help take pictures of areas of the brain with a special camera called a single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) camera.
Nearly 500 students from more than 20 high school teams, including many from the region, will compete in the TEAMS competition from 9 a.m. to noon on Feb. 28 in the King Horn Field House at Ohio Northern University. The theme of the event is “The engineering brain,” and the local competition is sponsored by the ONU College of Engineering.
You are welcome to cover this event, which should make for outstanding photo, video and interview opportunities as area students show off their engineering skills while exploring career fields.
