Ada High School head varsity boys basketball coach Vince Halliday was relieved of his duties Wednesday after three seasons at the helm of the Bulldog boys program.

The Bulldogs finished 5-18 this past season and went 0-8 in the Northwest Conference. Ada played a lineup comprised mostly of freshmen and sophomores this past season.

“It was a tough year, which we all knew (it probably would be),” said Halliday. “I just didn’t know I wasn’t going to get the opportunity to continue on.

“The best is yet to come for the program, I really believe that,” Halliday noted of the young team’s potential.

Halliday reported that he was notified of the decision in a Wednesday meeting with Ada athletic director Ken Jochims and principal Dan Lee.
