ADA – The 2023-24 All-Northwest Conference boys basketball teams were voted on by the league coaches and released by the league office Sunday.

Allen East placed one male on the first team, while an Ada sophomore was named honorable mention all-league.

Quick AE senior playmaker Carson Clum was voted to the all-league first team. Clum led the Mustangs in scoring, rebounds, steals and assists per game despite being just 5-9. 

Clum led AE to a 12-10 overall record and a 4-4 mark in conference play, good for a fifth-place tie with Leipsic in the nine-team league standings.

Sophomore wing Zimmerman topped Ada in scoring and three-point goals made. The youthful Bulldogs finished the regular season 5-17 and 0-8 in their final season as an NWC member.
