Ada boys' basketball team in rebuilding mode

25-year-old Dre White White approaches his job with a seasoned perspective
Posted by Fred Steiner on Saturday, December 23, 2017

By Grant Pepper
On our way back to Dre White's office we cut through the Ada High School boys' locker room.

It was there, in that locker room, where White wrote the date “February 19, 2016” on the whiteboard last week leading up to the boys basketball team’s first conference game of the season -- a home bout with local rival Allen East last Friday.

He followed that date with a number, “665.” It had been 665 days since that date, nearly two years ago, which was the last time Ada had won a Northwest Conference basketball game.
