ADA - The visiting Liberty-Benton High School girls basketball team knocked down 13 three-point goals to overcome feisty Ada 68-44 in a Blanchard Valley Conference doubleheader nightcap game Thursday, January 9.

The home defeat dropped the Bulldog record to 2-11 overall and 0-6 in the BVC. League leader Liberty-Benton improved to 9-5 overall and 6-1 in BVC play after the win.

“I feel like it was the hardest we have played from start to finish all season,” said Bulldog third-year head coach Zach Ricker. “Everyone played well, we competed. We focused on playing hard and having fun.”

Eagle sophomore Megan Gerken drained eight trifectas to tally a game-high 24 points. L-B senior guard Avery Knepper drilled five triples to net 21 markers.

Ada trailed 21-12 after a high-scoring first period. Knepper nailed three straight treys early to build a 13-5 lead.

ADA – The Ada High School boys basketball team held visiting Liberty-Benton to its lowest scoring output of the season, but still lost 48-26 in a first-place Blanchard Valley Conference showdown on January 9.

The Eagles broke open the low-scoring game with a 17-9 third quarter.

The Bulldogs fell to 9-4 overall and 4-1 in the BVC after the battle between the two co-league leaders.

L-B improved to 10-1 overall and 5-0 in BVC play with the road victory.
“We did all right against guys who are our size,” said Ada head coach Chris Sautter of the much bigger Eagles. “The game is different when you have 6-5 guys flying at you and contesting shots. We competed and played hard.”

Neither team scored a basket for the first four minutes in the defensive struggle. Ada took a 3-2 lead on a Kayleb Hickman field goal with 3:52 left in the first period.
