Last week, I visited Faithful Friends Cremations, a new business in Ada, Ohio. Patty Griffin has made a big investment to get this business off the ground and 1,459 of the Ada Icon's Facebook viewers checked out her story!

This week, I began reminding our Facebook followers to LIKE & SHARE Icon stories. On the Ada and Bluffton Icons, sharing links are now green and located at the top of story pages.

DELPHOS – The visiting Ada High School girls soccer team defeated Delphos Jefferson 3-0 in a weather-delayed non-league match to stay unbeaten on Thursday, September 3.

Sophomore Shay Smith scored two Bulldog goals to pace Ada to victory. Her first goal was assisted by Kenley Poling and gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead at intermission.

Ada junior Rose Baxter tallied a goal off a Smith assist to double the lead to 2-0.

Smith then tacked on another insurance goal via a penalty kick to put the game out of reach.
