RIDGEWAY – The Ada High School boys basketball team edged Hardin County rival Ridgemont 45-44 in the closing seconds to win a close season opener Wednesday night, November 27.

The tight non-league victory started the Bulldog campaign 1-0. The NWCC favorite Gophers begin 0-1.

Ridgemont led 44-43 in the waning seconds as Ada worked for a final shot.
