ADA - Third-year Ada varsity girls soccer head coach Doug Poling is cautiously optimistic his squad can set the elusive program record for single-season wins this fall.
That was the aim last fall, but a young team fell a few wins short. This season the club is more talented, a year older and driven to achieve that record wins goal.
The Lady Bulldog kickers return nine starters and 12 letter winners from a squad that finished 5-11-1 overall and 2-3-1 in Northwest Conference play last fall.
Surprised? You bet. It's mid-August and a surprise is in order. This surprise with a pink tinge can be found throughout Ada this week as "Surprise lillies" are suddenly in bloom. This set has an Ada water tower in the background.
