NB is 5-2 in the rugged Midwest Athletic Conference.
"It will be a very difficult (draw)," said Ada head coach Jon Cook. "It was kind of a six or one half dozen of the other kind of thing," he said in reference to which MAC power to play.
The Ada/NB winner will then meet the survivor between fifth seed Marion Local (10-9, 4-3 MAC) and 12th seed Waynesfield-Goshen (3-13) in round two Friday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. at the site of the higher seed.
