Ada boys soccer looks to challenge Bluffton, gets new playing surface

Posted by admin on Tuesday, August 17, 2021

By Cort Reynolds

The Ada boys soccer team returns a strong group of lettermen that should form the nucleus of a solid 2021 roster.

Some promising freshmen should also team with the returnees in an attempt to improve on last season's record. The Bulldog varsity roster boasts two seniors, 11 sophomores, four freshmen and five juniors, so 15 of the 22 players on the team are underclassmen.

Nine lettermen and seven starters return from a squad that ended up 10-9 overall and 4-1-0 in the six-team Northwest Conference, good for second place.

Icon book review: Fire Keeper's Daughter

A Reese's Book Club Young Adult Selection
Posted by admin on Monday, August 16, 2021

Review by Robert McCool

Although this book, “Fire Keeper's Daughter” (Henry Holt and Co. ISBN: 978-1-250-76656-4) is presented as a Young Adult book written by Angeline Boulley, it has many lessons to teach us, in a head-first, nose-dive into the Ojibwa Native Culture. Written very much like Tony's, and then Ann Hillerman's Navajo series of books, it gives us insight into a complex culture older than ours but set in contemporary times.
