The Ohio Northern men's cross country program seeks to continue its recent string of success at the conference and national levels in 2018 under 10th-year head coach Jason Maus.
Last season, the Polar Bears won their third straight Ohio Athletic Conference crown, finishing in the upper division of the league for the 15th consecutive season.
Wednesday, which was cooler and seemed like football weather, found Ada and Upper Scioto Valley midget footballers battling it out at War Memorial Stadium in Ada. USV came out on top with four touchdowns to Ada's two.
ADA - Despite a hiccup in set two, the Ada volleyball team swept visiting backyard rival Upper Scioto Valley in straight sets on a warm Tuesday evening.
The Lady Bulldog spikers improved to 3-1 by winning the non-league match 25-12, 25-21, 25-6. USV fell to 0-1 after losing their first match.
"We are focusing on eliminating errors," said new Ada head coach Kyleigh Tabor. "We made 15 errors in the second set, but only four in the third.
"We can't win games if we don't take care of the ball and clean up our game. But we covered on defense well, did well in serve receive and served aggressively," she added.
ST. HENRY - The Ada volleyball team lost at perennial power St. Henry Monday evening in four tough sets.
After suffering their first defeat of the young season, the Lady Bulldog spikers are now 2-1.
Ada won the first set 25-23, but then lost the next three by a 25-16, 25-8, 25-10 count.
"This is the first year that we have taken a set from St. Henry," said new head coach Kyleigh Tabor. "I’m extremely proud of how hard the girls worked; we had great defense and hustle. The girls never gave up and fought throughout the match."
Junior setter Sidney Gossard led the team in assists with 20, and she served three aces to go with five digs.
