A new football blocking sled was recently donated and dedicated at Ada High School.
The sled was purchased with funds donated by the football teams of 1971, 1972 and 1973. Funds were collected after the 50th year reunion of the 1971 team that took place in October 2021. More than $5,000 was raised.
The sled has a plaque attached stating that the donation was made in honor of Head Coach Gary Ricker and reads "combined record 27-2."
On June 4, Coach Ricker and Assistant Coach Roger Bartley returned to Ada to attend the dedication of the sled.
