The Ada Icon invites Ada sports fans to contact us if you are interested in contributing stories to the Icon about Ada High School and Junior High sports teams (we already have varsity football covered!).
There's no pay involved, but we can provide press passes to get you into games free. If you are interested in more information, please contact [email protected].
The Icon also welcomes persons who take photos at games to send them to us.
Just mention soccer, as an example. With fall 2014 high school athletic practices in full gear, it naturally follows that it's time for an alums-versus-varsity competition.
Bailey Bowers attended the two afore-mentioned soccer games involving Ada boys' versus alumni, and Ada girls' versus alumnae. Here's some shots from those games.
Ohio Northern was selected to finish fourth in both the coaches and media polls at the 2014 Ohio Athletic Conference Football Media Day on Wednesday afternoon at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
ONU received 225 points in the media poll and 52 points in the coaches poll to finish fourth in each.
Mount Union was tabbed as the preseason favorite by both the media and coaches, collecting 30 first place media votes and nine first place votes from the coaches.
The Ohio Northern men's soccer team is ranked No. 23 in the 2014 NSCAA/Continental Tire Men's Division III preseason poll.
The Polar Bears finished last season ranked No. 19 in the poll.
Messiah (Pa.) was once again picked as the preseason favorite, followed by Rutgers-Camden (N.J.) and Amherst (Mass.) rounding out the top three.
ONU closed out the 2013 season 18-4 overall and 8-1 in the OAC, tied for first. The Polar Bears picked up their fourth straight tournament title and third consecutive regular season championship.
