Good-bye, Ada High School athletic jersey number 12.
An Ada athlete will never wear it again.
Why? Number 12 belonged to Zac Dysert, 2008 Ada grad.
Number 12 will officially be retired on Saturday, Jan. 30, in a boys’ game against Hardin Northern. The presentation will be made between the junior varsity and varsity contests. And, yes, Zac, will be present and will have some comments.
To commemorate the event Zac Dysert tee shirts are available to order this winter, according to Ken Jochims, Ada athletic director.
