The feisty Ada High School girls basketball team fashioned a big second-half comeback, but ultimately lost to visiting McComb 49-40 in a spirited season opener Friday night.
The Bulldogs rallied from a 14-point deficit to within three in the second half, but a 9-0 McComb spurt midway through the fourth period spelled the difference in the outcome.
The Ada offense got untracked in the final 13 minutes, yet they were unable to overcome a slow start and 19 turnovers. However, the Bulldog girls kept battling and made a close game of it late before falling just short.
With ONU students away for Thanksgiving break and Ada’s K-12 students only in class on Monday, November 21, the upcoming week should feel a bit different, even if you’re not on break yourself.
Village offices and the Ada Public Library will be closed on Thursday and Friday.
