ADA - Behind a potent offense, the 2019 Ada football team looks to rebound from an injury-plagued season as the Bulldogs come off their first sub-.500 campaign in 15 years.
A potentially explosive offense could help the Bulldogs return to playoff and league contention.
After winning their 2018 opener the injury bug bit Ada hard, and the purple and gold managed just one victory vs. Delphos Jefferson over the final nine games. The Bulldogs missed the playoffs for only the second time in the last 12 seasons.
However, there was a silver lining to all the tumult and adversity.
Three area law enfocement agencies executed another search warrant at the apartment of Deyond White of 102 N. Main St., Apartment 5, Ada, in connection with an on-going investigation.
The warrants were executed by Ada Police Department, Kenton Police Department and Hardin County Sheriff’s Office on Aug. 27.
Michael Harnishfeger, Ada police chief said that officers recovered and seized over $6,000 in stolen items including couches, bedroom furniture, television, jewelry, clothing and other miscellaneous items that were purchased through stolen identities and credit card fraud.
