Talented backcourt to lead Ada girls under new coach

Posted by Staff on Friday, November 18, 2022

The Bulldog girls basketball home opener is at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, November 18 vs. McComb. 

By Cort Reynolds

The Ada High School girls basketball team returns one of the better backcourts in the area to lead a potential resurgence under new varsity head coach Zack Ricker.

The AHS girls basketball team has not had a winning season since 2015-16, when they went 15-8 overall and 5-3 in the league. This season's core is probably the most talented since that edition, although depth is thin.

A Delphos Jefferson graduate, Ricker served as the freshman boys coach at Ada last season.
