MORRAL - The visiting Ada High School girls basketball team stifled non-conference foe Ridgedale 31-17 in a makeup game on Saturday, February 1.

Ada held the Rocket girls to just two first-half points, and shut them out in the second stanza to build a 12-2 lead at halftime.

The Bulldogs outscored the hosts 19-15 in the second half to win going away.

The 17 points Ada allowed was their lowest defensive output of the season. 

The Bulldog girls improved to 3-17 overall after the road win. Non-league foe Ridgedale dropped to 5-13 with the defeat.

“We played a 2-3 zone and tried to force them to make shots over the top,” explained Ada head coach Zach Ricker.
