There is a new quarterback in town for the Ada Bulldogs.

Sophomore passing sensation Seth Conley (5) went down with season-ending broken bones in his forearm late in the game at Spencerville.

Junior wide receiver and defensive back Trent Jolliff (15) gook over the reins and had a huge night passing, rushing and interception passes in Ada’s bruising win over state-ranked Columbus Grove on Friday.

Stingy defense and a monster game from Ada Senior Blake Ansley propelled the underdog Bulldogs to a 19-7 upset home victory over state ranked Columbus Grove on Friday.

Ansley hauled in eight grabs for 209 yards, scoring on plays of 50 and 80 yards, helping Ada to improve their record to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Northwest Conference.
Neither team found the end zone until late in the second quarter as multiple turnovers plagued both offenses early in the game.
