Posted by Staff on Thursday, August 25, 2022

By Cort Reynolds

The 2022 Ada High School boys soccer team returns nine starters and 14 lettermen, including their top two goal scorers, which could lead to a successful fall campaign.

Last year's squad finished 7-8-3 overall and 1-2-1 in the Northwest Conference, good for fourth place in the league.  

The purple and gold kickers also ended up fifth in the tough North Central Ohio Soccer Association with a 1-4 mark.  

The 2022 Bulldogs will operate out of a 4-1-3-2 formation.

The Ada High School volleyball team fought hard but lost a four-set battle in their home opener to visiting Hardin County rival Kenton on a very hot Tuesday evening, August 23.

The Bulldogs dropped the heated bout 25-19, 25-21, 20-25, 25-15 before a loud and boisterous crowd.

The tough loss dropped the Ada record to 2-1, while Kenton improved to 2-0 with the win.

"Basically I felt we started slow and Kenton out-hustled us early on," said Ada head coach Kyleigh Woodruff. "We made too many errors; you can't make 21 hitting errors in a close match.

"Our serve receive wasn't as clean as usual," she added.

Talented Bulldog girls soccer squad looks improved under new coach

Posted by Staff on Wednesday, August 24, 2022

By Cort Reynolds

First-year varsity girls soccer head coach Doug DeWese looks to field a much improved Ada High School squad this fall.

"Our goals are achievable, it is just a matter of finishing off games," said Dewese of the team's potential. "We have got to have the confidence that we can win. 

"Our goal is a 10-win season," he noted with optimism. That total would easily set a program record for wins in a season.
    
Nine letter winners and one senior return to the varsity roster in an attempt to achieve that lofty but reachable end. Ada fashioned a 2-10-1 overall record and went 0-5-1 in Northwest Conference action last fall.
