Ada midget football, Ada youth flag football and Ada youth cheerleading sign-ups for the 2018 season will be held on Wednesday, July 11, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Ada Park Building (Brown building on the corner right before the football stadium).
Ken Collins camera caught some of the activity at the Ada/Kenton “fun swim meet” on Monday evening at the Ada Pool. Some of the events included the "corkscrew," the "doggie paddle," and the "dolphin" swim styles. Contestants also vied for the title of biggest splash. The winner was FUN since there were no timers or regular judges.
Second-year head coach Jackie Price had the Polar Bear softball team competing a high level once again in 2018 as Northern grabbed the OAC Tournament title, advanced to the NCAA Tournament and recorded its 13th straight upper-division Ohio Athletic Conference finish this season.
Northern finished the 2018 season with an impressive 32-11 record, which are the most wins the program has seen in a single season since Price played for the Polar Bears in 2010.
The Ohio Northern baseball team lived up to its high expectations in 2018 as it ended an 18-year Ohio Athletic Conference tournament drought and posted its fifth straight winning season under the guidance of seventh-year head coach Gene Stechschulte.
The Polar Bears finished the season 27-15 overall and 11-7 in the OAC and were tied for third in the OAC standings as it punched it ticket to the OAC Tournament for the first time since the 2000 campaign.
Six athletes were named All-OAC in 2018 for their efforts during the season.
