"This is the current state of the soccer fields. The coaches now have their rosters, but probably will not be able to start practice until the fields are a little drier.
"Also we are waiting for a dirt pile to be removed from the driveway so that we may get to the fields. Please have patience with these roadblocks to spring soccer."
Ada's Grant McBride, a senior, was named to the second team all-Northwest Conference in boys' basketball. Two Bulldog teammates were named honorable mention.
