Ada hosts Allen East in season, NWC finale

Posted by Staff on Sunday, October 15, 2023

By Cort Reynolds

Ada welcomes traditional backyard arch-rival Allen East to War Memorial Stadium next Friday to climax the season in a battle of teams with identical 3-6 overall records.

It looks to be the last Northwest Conference game for Ada (1-5 NWC) after 60 years in the league, fittingly against their biggest gridiron rival. 

In the 21st century the Bulldogs lead the heated series 14-9, highlighted by a 13-game win streak from 2005-17.

But the Mustangs (2-4 NWC) have taken the last five meetings in a row, all in decisive fashion, including 52-7 last year in Harrod. AE also captured four of the five matchups from 2000-04.
