Very impressive checks

From McDonald's to USV, $1,000; and to Ada $700
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, November 3, 2017

Officials from Lewis Family McDonald's presented a check for $1,000 to Upper Scioto Valley Schools for the effort of school employees and local residents who had supper at Ada McDonald's on Oct. 16. Ada, too, received a check for $700 for their efforts on Oct. 9.

The schools vied for which could get the most customers to Ada McDonald's during a three hour period on different Mondays.

Ada went first, a mob of people showed up and made purchases. In fact, it was the largest turnout ever for a McTeacher's Night from among the 17 Lewis Family McDonald's. But then came USV, and they topped Ada to win an extra $150.

Previewing Ada’s first round playoff matchup tonight

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, November 3, 2017

By Grant Pepper
Tonight, the Ada Bulldog football team will make their 11th OHSAA playoff appearance in 12 years, as they will face Findlay Liberty-Benton in the first round.

Ada (7-3) snuck into the playoffs with a win over Allen East last week and a little bit of luck (you can read Cort Reynolds’ explanation of their unconventional path to the playoffs here), earning the 8-seed in Division 6 Region 22. They will face a Liberty-Benton squad tonight that went 9-1 in the regular season and is the top seed in the region.
