Hornets sting Ada girl kickers

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Thursday, September 13, 2018

By Cort Reynolds

RAWSON - The visiting Ada girls soccer team lost 7-1 at Cory-Rawson Wednesday evening.

Ada fell to 3-4 overall with the defeat.

C-R scored early on a through ball that got past the Ada defense to grab a 1-0 edge. About 10 minutes later, the Lady Hornets extended the lead to 2-0 on a similar goal and the score that way into halftime.

"It was pretty evenly matched for the first 15 minutes," said Bulldog head coach Doug Poling. "We played on our heels the rest of the first half."

Ada tallied its lone goal early in half two when Katie Butterfield put a through ball by Timberlyn Blankenship into the back of the net.

Ada Schools now part of Tip Line

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Thursday, September 13, 2018

The Ada Exempted Village Schools has registered with the Safer Schools Ohio Tip Line. 

Research shows that most threats to schools have clues that are missed or ignored.  Students and parents have more access to social media of students than schools do. 

The Safer Schools Ohio Tip Line is manned by Homeland Security and Law Enforcement professionals trained to quickly assess a threat and to contact and work with school administrators and local law enforcement/county Sheriff/School Resource Officers.  

The tip line can be used to report anything suspicious or endangering to students, their friends, or their school.
