ADA — The Ohio Northern University Athletic Hall of Fame inducted four new members on Friday, Oct. 18, as part of ONU’s Homecoming weekend.
The four inducted were Dr. DeBow Freed, the ninth president of the University who served from 1979-99; Alisa Agozzino, a 2001 communication arts graduate and volleyball and track athlete from Attica, Ohio; Jesse Marlow, a 1983 economics major and track and basketball athlete from Mahomet, Ill., and Terri Krach, a 1988 management and marketing major and softball athlete from Rocky River, Ohio.
It's Ada vs. Delphos Jefferson at Delphos on Friday, Nov. 8, at 7:30 p.m. in the first round of Region 20 Division VI Ohio High School Athletic Association's football playoffs.
Ada, 7-3, the number 8 ranked team in Region 19 faces Jefferson, 9-1, the number 2 ranked team. However if history has anything to do with it, notice Jefferson's lone loss was at the hands of the Bulldogs at Delphos just one week ago.
Here's the entire Division VI teams and opponents:

The Ada Bulldogs rolled into Stadium Park Friday night and laid claim to a share of the Northwest Conference title by defeating the previously unbeaten Delphos Jefferson Wildcats 25-20. The 'Dogs took the lead with only 45 ticks left on the clock, then survived a furious Wildcat rally to preserve the win. The victory lifts Ada's record to 7-2 overall and 6-1 in the Northwest Conference.
Ada Bulldogs face a stiff challenge on the road Friday night when they take on league foe Delphos Jefferson (8-0, 5-0). The Wildcats are currently ranked 6th in the latest Division VI AP poll. The Bulldogs still have playoff aspirations, but they'll need to win at least one of the next two in order to ensure they don't miss the post season for the first time since 2005. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
