Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, September 13, 2015

By Dusty Donley

Despite a solid game from Bulldog quarterback Seth Conley, a late Ethan O'Connor touchdown gave Lima Central Catholic a lead they would not relinquish as the visiting Thunderbirds defeated the Ada Bulldogs 22-20. The tough, non-conference loss was Ada's first, dropping their season record to 2-1.

Both teams showed offensive fireworks early on, scoring 36 of the game's combined 42 points in the first half. LCC struck first as T-Bird quarterback O'Connor connected with Sammy Santaguida on a 31-yard scoring strike with just over five minutes to play in the first. The extra point was blocked, leaving LCC with the 6-0 lead.

Freshman Will Freed threw for 439 yards and three touchdowns in his first collegiate game to lead Ohio Northern to a 29-22 football victory over Utica (N.Y.) in its 2015 season opener Saturday afternoon at Dial-Roberson Stadium.

The Polar Bears improve to 1-0, while the Pioneers fall to 1-1.

Freed completed 27-of-36 passes and TD scores of 73, 56 and 8 yards in his college debut, marking the first time a freshman quarterback started a game for Ohio Northern since Ed Chessar in 1987.

His 439 yards passing is the second-most in ONU history, trailing only the record 452-yard effort by Shane Franzer at Hanover (Ind.) in the 1999 playoffs.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, September 13, 2015

ReStore Community Center receives many donations on a daily basis, which the organization appreciates. But the Center has become a dumping ground for some people.

Bags of trash, dirty paper plates, etc. have been received recently.

Even mattresses have been left leaning against the building even though a sign, with large print, clearly states that mattresses are not accepted.

Dana Walters, executive director, asked the Ada Icon to publish this statement:
