FINDLAY - Top-seeded Arlington eliminated spunky Ada in four sets at the Div. IV district volleyball semifinals in Findlay Monday night, ending the season of the defending district champions.
The Bulldogs tied it up at one set apiece after winning game two. But the Red Devils held off a late rally to win the final set and knock out the third-seeded Lady Bulldogs by a 25-20, 22-25, 25-16, 25-22 score.
With the defeat, Ada finished its campaign with a 12-12 record. Arlington improved to 19-5 and advanced to the district finals Oct. 25 against conference rival McComb with the win.
During trick or treat night on Thursday, the Ada Public Library will host a Halloween party with pizza, goodies, crafts, and a costume contest with prizes. The Library asks that you make them one of your stops on Oct. 25 between 4:30-7 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Fiends of the Library.
Library Director Rhett Grant and his wife Jenny welcome Halloweeners last year.
A Former Citizen Writes Interestingly of the Old Days
The Ada Record, Ada, Ohio Nov. 21, 1900
Brief mention was made last week of the Record having received a letter from Mrs. M. Tremain who was the first pupil present on the first day of school at the first schoolhouse in Ada. Another letter has been received from Mrs. Tremain which is very interesting indeed. It is as follows:
Junior quarterback Anthony McFadden has been tabbed the OAC Offensive Player of the Week.
McFadden racked up a career-high 373 yards through the air and accounted for five Polar Bear touchdowns in last Saturday's 49-46 victory over OAC foe Capital in Columbus. The junior completed 24-of-34 passing attempts and toss four touchdowns in the weekend shootout. His remaining touchdown was scored on the ground as the third-year signal caller registered a one-yard rushing touchdown to give Northern a 49-39 lead late in the fourth quarter.
