Support United Way in 2019
Posted by Monty Siekerman on Tuesday, September 4, 2018

Dear Editor,

   During the last few years, as a board member of The United Way of Hardin County, I have been so pleased with the support we have received from our county residents and business.  Hardin County people taking care of Hardin County people!   

  In the words by Nelson Mandela,  "It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it" is an immeasurable characteristic of Hardin County! With your assistance, United Way can continue to fulfill it's mission, mobilizing the caring power of our community. Through the communities support, our 21 non-profit agencies are able to continue the many services provided to our residents.

25-point first half deficit too much to overcome

Arlington downs Bulldogs in non-conference contest
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, September 3, 2018

By Dusty Donley
A 25 point first half deficit was too much for Ada to overcome as the visiting Arlington Red Devils marched into War Memorial Stadium and defeated the Bulldogs 37-6.  The first loss of the Shawn Christopher era drops the Dogs to 1-1 on the season.

Arlington struck twice in the opening quarter.  The first score came on a 5-yard Carter Essinger run.  Moments later, quarterback Jacob Russell connected with Jaret Vermillion on a 57-yard catch and carry.  Both extra point attempts were no good, leaving the Red Devils ahead 12-0 at the end of the first.

ADA - A short-handed Ada football team will play its first road game this season when they visit former league rival Lima Central Catholic in week three this Saturday night.

"We have 12 guys out for a multitude of reasons, including injuries," first-year head coach Shawn Christopher noted. "The roster for Saturday is depleted, down from 38 players to 26."

The Thunderbirds (2-0) knocked off Delphos St. John's 20-10 in Lima last Friday night. LCC also won at Spencerville 34-19 in the season opener.
