Feb 16 - Welcome Home Denver QB Zac Dysert event at Ada HS
Ada's Favorite Son, Zac Dysert, will return to Ada on Sunday, Feb. 16. The event, "Welcome Home Denver Bronco's Quarterback, Zac Dysert," will be open to the public and held from 4 to 6 p.m., in the Ada High School gymnasium, according to Donald Traxler, who is planning the event.
Several parts of the program are still to be confirmed, Traxler told The Icon. "This is something that the Ada community can feel very proud to be part of," he said.
It is hoped that several of Dysert's former coaches and teammates will be on hand for the event. Watch The Icon for more details.
