The Ada boys basketball team harbored an upset bid into the fourth period at backyard rival Allen East before a huge Mustang closing run carried the hosts to a 69-55 Northwest Conference victory Friday night at Harrod.

Ada fell to 5-5 overall and 0-3 in the NWC with their second loss to the Mustangs in eight days. Meanwhile, AE improved to 6-3 overall and 1-1 in the NWC with the win.
