ADA - After serving as an assistant for a decade on the Bulldog football staff, Ada graduate Shawn Christopher saw a dream realized when he was named the new Bulldog head varsity football coach last May.
"It is a dream come true to coach your hometown team, a special thing that people don't get to do very often," said Christopher after he was hired.
The 2004 Ada grad has been associated with the program for most of the past two decades as a player and assistant, and has been a part of much gridiron success over the past dozen seasons.
COLDWATER - The Ada volleyball team lost a tough four-set match at powerful Coldwater Thursday evening.
The defeat dropped the Lady Bulldog record to 3-2.
Coldwater won the first set 25-14 before Ada tied it one set apiece with a 25-23 win in game two. But the hosts then won the final two sets by identical 25-19 scores.
"The girls played extremely well and worked hard throughout the match," said Ada head coach Kyleigh Tabor. "This is the first year we have taken a set from Coldwater, so I’m very proud of the girls.
"We are continuing to improve as a team and are working hard to take care of the ball on our side of the court."
The Ohio Northern women's cross country team looks to build off last season's fourth-place effort at the Ohio Athletic Conference Championships during the 2018 campaign under 10th-year head coach Jason Maus.
In 2017, the Polar Bears compiled an impressive 94-37 overall record, which included team titles at the Bluffton 5k and the Tiffelberg Invitational, and posted an upper division finish at the OAC Championships for the 16th consecutive season.
This season, Coach Maus and his staff welcome back nine lettermen and 13 student/athletes overall.
