If you think Ada gets crazy at times you are correct. Here's one of those crazy times. Watch the Icon this weekend for lots more ways we went crazy in 2017. (Monty Siekerman photo)
WAYNESFIELD - Ada defeated host Waynesfield-Goshen 45-38 in the semifinals of the inaugural Border Battle girls' basketball tournament Thursday evening.
The Lady Bulldogs advance to the finals and improved to 2-6 with the victory, while the Lady Tigers fell to 2-7 and into the consolation game after the defeat.
Junior guard Raina England poured in a career-high 18 points to pace Ada to victory. The Bulldogs outscored W-G 27-16 over the middle quarters to provide the impetus to victory.
A 19-12 second quarter outburst gave Ada a 24-20 halftime edge, and they held onto the lead from there.
The Ada Icon caught the smiles of many people in 2017.
Here are just a few of them. We had to quit reviewing photos because there were just too many smiles... can there be too many smiles?
These photos extend from January to early March. The Ada Icon cam- era caught local residents and ONU students happy doing many things: serving others, winning at sports, having fun, even working.
