The Ada High School quiz bowl team ran it overall match record to 39-4 by winning this year's Hardin County Invitational Quiz Bowl.  The annual event features all six Hardin County Schools and two schools invited from Hancock County.

The Bulldogs opened the evening with convincing wins over Upper Scioto Valley, Liberty Benton and Cory Rawson.  Following the dinner break, Ada resumed its domination by racking up wins against  Hardin Northern and Kenton.  Ada's 5-0 record earned a playoff for the championship against a very tough Riverdale squad.
