Dr. Parkinson was an English surgeon who was better known in his day as a geologist and paleontologist. In 1804, he published a book on fossils titled, Organic Remains of a Former World. He wrote more books on fossils than he did on medicine.

The Ada HIgh School wrestling team traveled to Bucyrus Wednesday, December 22, for a rare mid-week afternoon dual match. 

"It was definitely a different sort of environment," said Ada head coach Eric Perkins. "When you get their whole school packed into the gym being loud and rooting against you, it can be a very tough challenge mentally. 

"I thought our guys did a great job rising to that challenge, staying aggressive and focused on the right things."

The contest was conducted with Bucyrus still in school, so there was a large student crowd on hand. Buoyed by the crowd, the host Redmen defeated Ada, 60-7.
