Earlier this month former outstanding Ada High School athlete Christopher Beaschler (45) led the defense for the University of Dayton. The Flyers defeated Robert Morris 27-24 and Carl Wilkerson took some photos for the Icon.

The Dayton senior linebacker had 18 tackles including nine solos, two quarterback sacks for losses of nine yards and a deflected pass.

Beaschler is an athletic and academic all-league player and was named one of the team's captains this spring. He is the son of Ron and Christy Beaschler of Ada.
