ADA – The Ada High School boys tennis team beat visiting Fostoria in a lengthy 3-2 match on a sunny evening Wednesday, May 7 at War Memorial Park.

The Bulldogs improved to 3-4 after the hard-fought victory.

“We were missing our number two singles, so Brandon was bumped up to two and Luke Archer was bumped up to third singles,” explained Ada head coach Carter Bivens.

The lineup changes did not deter the Bulldogs from victory.

Ada senior Nathan Williams dominated at first singles as he rolled to a 6-1, 6-0 win over Redman sophomore Landon Sherman. 

“Nathan had a quick victory, decisive and clean,” said Givens.
