Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, April 1, 2020

Ada schools released information on spring athletics. This is information from the school website.

Yesterday’s announcement by Governor DeWine extended mandatory school closures through May 1.

As a result:
 The mandated No-Contact period has been extended through this date (May 1). This is to assist with the Governor’s ‘stay at home’ order, to prohibit coaches from privately meeting with student-athletes and to put all schools on an equal level relative to future competitive opportunities.

Assessing the situation, Hall drove to the Beaverdam travel center. There he explained the breakdown problem to a mechanic who returned with Hall and repaired the stranded vehicle.
