The Ada High School boys basketball team fell behind early and lost 49-34 to visiting local rival Allen East in Northwest Conference action Friday night, January 7.
AE jumped out to a 17-3 lead over the first 12 minutes, yet Ada clawed back within 10 points behind a third period rally.
But the Mustangs began the final quarter on a 7-0 run to stem the Ada momentum and any thought of a Bulldog comeback.
"We only had 10 points at halftime, that is atrocious," said first-year Ada head coach Vince Halliday. "My three guys who have all had 25-point games this year combined for 19."
