ADA - Full-court pressing Crestview reeled off the first 14 points of the game and went on to post a convincing 77-34 win over host Ada in Northwest Conference girls basketball play Thursday evening.
Bulldog sophomore playmaker Courtney Sumner topped both teams with 21 points, 18 of which came in the second half after the outcome was decided.
"We didn't have any answers for them," said Ada third-year head coach Morgan Bass. "They dictated a lot of what we did. Athletically, we didn't match up five-on-five, so we went zone. They ran the floor well and out-rebounded us."

ARLINGTON - Arlington senior guard Zavier Thornton drained nine three-point baskets to lead the homestanding Red Devils to a 66-50 victory over spunky Ada in a non-league boys basketball contest Tuesday night.
Thornton tossed in a game-high 31 points to keep the upset-minded Bulldogs at bay. Arlington knocked down 11 triples and pumped in 42 second-half points to pull away from what was a close contest at intermission.
Bad starts to each half dug Ada holes that were too deep to climb out of.
Spring classes started this week at ONU. Here’s a familiar scene from Heterick Library. Prior to leaving campus, every student was provided an at-home COVID-19 Saliva Test, the results of which determined if individual students would need to quarantine before returning to campus. To safely resume classes on campus, the university implemented comprehensive plans of new safeguards and procedures. (ONU Facebook photo)
