Ada girls basketball home opener spoiled by HN

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Wednesday, December 5, 2018

By Cort Reynolds

ADA - Visiting Hardin Northern defeated county rival Ada 34-22 in the Lady Bulldog basketball home opener Tuesday evening.

HN outscored the scrappy Lady Bulldogs 21-12 in the second half to pull away from a low-scoring, close first half and post the victory.

The Bulldogs fell to 0-2 with the defeat, while the Lady Polar Bears improved to 1-2 with the win.

"We are happy with the win," said Northern head coach Brady Mast. "We missed a lot of easy baskets in the first half. We made some second half adjustments."

Ada was able to sink only nine field goals in the game, which featured just one made three-point goal by both teams combined.

“Want to take my picture?” Dancer seems to be saying.

He and Prancer (background) were a hit at Merry on Main on Monday evening in downtown Ada. The annual Chamber of Commerce “shop local” event drew a crowd of mostly children with their parents to see the live reindeer and the Grinch at the Railroad Depot and Santa at the Ada Public Library. 

Outside the Ada First United Methodist Church, a choir sang and passers-by could view a live nativity scene. Those stopping at the Depot enjoyed hot chocolate, cookies, and crafts, as well.
