Eight Bulldogs score in non-conference win

By Cort Reynolds
ADA - Host Ada dominated county foe Hardin Northern 65-46 Saturday night to post a decisive non-league boys basketball rivalry victory.

The Bulldogs jumped out to an 18-7 first period lead and never trailed in the game. Playing well, Ada extended the margin to 34-14 at intermission. HN rallied within nine late in the third stanza but could get no closer. 

The Bulldogs pulled away with a 19-10 fourth period to win by 19. Hard-driving junior playmaker Brandon Hull continued his strong play with a game-high 27 points and several assists.

The cutout bowling pin sign at Norada Lanes north of Ada provides for an interesting view of traffic passing toward Ada. It the lights on that vehicle represented a bowling ball, it certainly looks like a strke from this vantage point.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new medication to treat breast cancer.

This new approval is called Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki).

The FDA approved Enhertu to treat adults with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer that cannot be removed with surgery or has spread to other parts of the body.

HER2-positive breast cancer is aggressive and accounts for an estimated 20 percent of breast cancers, according to the FDA.

Recent legislation has proven to be effective for trafficked persons. The Trafficking Victims’ Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000 created the first comprehensive federal law to address human trafficking. The TVPA introduced a practical approach: prevent trafficking through public awareness, protecting victims of trafficking and prosecuting traffickers. Ohio’s Human Trafficking Law (ORC 2905.32) further defined trafficked persons to include minors and individuals with developmental disabilities.

ADA - Visiting Lima Central Catholic methodically defeated Ada 63-33 in non-conference girls basketball action Thursday night.

Lady Thunderbird senior post Rosie Williams muscled her way to 31 points inside to pace LCC to victory.

The Bulldog girls fell to 5-10 overall with the defeat, while the T-Bird girls improved to 8-7 with the victory.

"We just had no energy to start the game," said Ada second-year head coach Morgan Bass. "We had no answer for Williams and got off to a slow start.

"LCC is good," she continued. "They have a perfect combination of a big girl inside and shooters outside who can hurt you."
