ADA - Host Ada outscored Spencerville 16-9 in the fourth quarter, then held off a last-ditch Bearcat effort to pull out an exciting 50-48 Northwest Conference boys basketball victory Friday night.

Spencerville had a chance to tie or win in the final seconds, but Ada sophomore guard Zac Swaney stole the ball from Dalton Prichard with five ticks left to preserve the comeback win.

The Bulldogs improved to 3-13 and 2-3 in the NWC with the victory, while the Bearcats fell to 1-13 and 0-5 in the NWC with their 10th straight defeat.
