Paced by a balanced offensive attack, the Columbus Grove Bulldogs were able to open up a commanding 35-7 first half lead en route to a 56-7 victory over the visiting Ada Bulldogs. The second conference loss in as many weeks drops Ada to 1-2 in the N.W.C. and 2-4 overall.
Columbus Grove scored 28 first half points before Ada junior signal caller Phillip Coulson connected with sophomore Zac Swaney on a 22-yard touchdown. Junior Dylan East’s extra point kick was good, giving Ada their only points of the game with just under three minutes to play in the second quarter.
