ADA__The Ada High School softball team opened its 2024 campaign with a decisive 14-0 shutout over county rival Hardin Northern Monday, on March 25. 

The Bulldogs start out 1-0 with the non-league victory.

The Polar Bears, under new head coach Rob Overs, who served as an Ada assistant the past two seasons, are 0-1.

Junior Jenna Bassitt struck out 14 Polar Bears and allowed just one hit in hurling a five-inning shutout.

“The pitching was good,” Ada head coach Jeff Bassitt. “It is nice to get the first win, but we still have a lot of work to get done. Hardin Northern has a nice young team with a lot of potential.”

AHS varsity boys basketball coach let go

Ada High School head varsity boys basketball coach Vince Halliday was relieved of his duties Wednesday after three seasons at the helm of the Bulldog boys program.

The Bulldogs finished 5-18 this past season and went 0-8 in the Northwest Conference. Ada played a lineup comprised mostly of freshmen and sophomores this past season.

“It was a tough year, which we all knew (it probably would be),” said Halliday. “I just didn’t know I wasn’t going to get the opportunity to continue on.

“The best is yet to come for the program, I really believe that,” Halliday noted of the young team’s potential.

Halliday reported that he was notified of the decision in a Wednesday meeting with Ada athletic director Ken Jochims and principal Dan Lee.
