ADA – The Ada High School baseball team defeated visiting Blanchard Valley Conference foe Pandora-Gilboa 9-2 on a cool Monday evening, May 5.
The game was slated to be played at Pandora, but was switched to Ada due to wet playing fields. The Rockets officially were the home team.
The Bulldogs plated five runs in the first inning and never trailed. They tacked on single runs in the second, fourth, fifth and sixth frames to win going away.

On Saturday, May 3, sophomore, juniors and seniors from Ada High School vied for individual and class honors in the 118th Interclass Competition. While I am a relative newcomer to the event, I think I can safely say this isn’t your grandparents’ Interclass. Thematic and technological updates helped make the evening an entertaining look--both sweet and spicy--into the minds of Ada students.
MAY 5 MEDIA RELEASE__With the help of fifteen volunteer rainfall reporters, Ohio State University Extension in Hardin County is collecting unofficial township rainfall data for the thirty-third consecutive year.
The 2025 growing season has begun, and we have certainly seen a fair amount of rain already. We saw most of the rain early on soak right in, but recent rains have left standing water. Farmers are becoming more and more active in fields as well as horticulturalist and gardeners. As planting season continues to ramp up, please remember to be patient on roadways and remember to share the road so everyone can return home safely to their families.
