The Ada High School baseball team returns nine lettermen and several starters this spring under third-year head coach Toby Smith.

The Bulldogs gained valuable experience playing many youngsters last spring during a 2-16 campaign where they went 0-8 in their final season as a member of the Northwest Conference.

“We got better as the season went along,” said coach Smith. “We played well in a 3-1 tournament loss to Pandora-Gilboa. We have the same group back and they are progressing well. There is a lot of growth to be made.”
