A late game blocked punt led to a Jordan Bailey touchdown, giving Ada a lead they would not relinquish, as the Bulldogs would go on to defeat the unbeaten Crestview Knights, 22-15 on Friday. 

Trailing by a point with just over five minutes left in the game, the Bulldog special teams would play the role of hero. On fourth and long, a mob of Ada defenders blocked Crestview punter Seth Moser's kick and Sophomore Jordan Bailey scooped up the loose ball and took it to the house.

Solid defense the rest of the way preserved the Bulldog victory, moving them to (4-3) overall and (3-2) in the Northwest Conference.
