ADA - Visiting local rival Cory-Rawson ruined the Ada girls basketball season opener and ended a losing streak of over 50 games with a hard-fought win Tuesday night.
After going winless for more than two seasons, the Lady Hornets rallied behind a big second half to defeat the Lady Bulldogs, 53-45.
The non-league victory upped the Hornet record to 1-2, while the cold-shooting Lady Bulldogs start out 0-1.
Ohio Northern fell in its Ohio Athletic Conference opener 23-9 to No. 9-ranked Baldwin Wallace on Tuesday night at the ONU Sports Center.
The Polar Bears (0-1 overall, 0-1 Ohio Athletic Conference) got decisions over ranked opponents from senior Gavin Nelson (Oregon/Clay) and Sophomore Nate Barcaskey(Moon Township, Pa./Moon Area) and were highly competitive in all 10 bouts against the nationally-ranked Yellow Jackets (6-0, 2-0).
The ONU Holiday Spectacular will be presented at the Lima Civic Center Friday through Sunday. All tickets are $5 and are available at all Kewpee locations and at the Freed Center box office from noon-5 p.m., 419-772-1900.
The show will be staged at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The Holiday Spectacular had a successful four-performance run at the Freed Center in Ada two weeks ago
