MARION __The visiting Ada High School tennis team lost 5-0 to Marion Harding at the Grant Tennis Center on Monday, April 13.

The Bulldog netters fell to 0-2 after the loss. 

“It was just our second match, while Marion Harding has played five,” said first-year Ada head coach Shelleigh Alexander. “We have some new partnerships in doubles so it will take a little time to develop chemistry, but I think they are coming together.”

ADA __One big inning spelled the difference in a taut battle of 10-0 softball unbeatens on a warm Monday, April 13 at War Memorial Park.

Visiting Elmwood broke open a scoreless battle with a four-run fifth inning and held on for a 4-0 victory over the Ada High School softball team in a Blanchard Valley Conference showdown to hand the Bulldogs their first loss.
