Three late interceptions doomed the Bulldogs as the Bluffton Pirates traveled to War Memorial Stadium and ended Ada's three game win streak, defeating the Dogs 27-21.
The heartbreaking Northwest Conference loss drops Ada to 5-3 overall and 3-2 in the NWC.

There's a new Bulldog in town, found on an electric sign recently installed at the school. Jillian Allison, a third grader, and Blake Willeke, a senior and president of Student Council, pose by the sign which is located near State Route 81. The colorful billboard flashes information about school events, time, temperature, the American flag, and, of course, the angry-looking school mascot with a big red tongue. To pay for the sign, the school received about $7,000 in donations with the remainder of the cost coming from the permanent improvement budget. (Monty Siekerman photo)
October, November and December night time skies are worth watching. Here's an update on what's up from the Ohio Northern University Astronomy Observatory. Three of these e events are programs at the observatory open to the public.
On the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 28, there will be a triple conjunction of Venus, Jupiter and Mars in the eastern sky. The three planets will form a tight, 1-degree triangle. There will be no observatory event for this, but it is an easy event to enjoy with the naked eye.
