VAN WERT – The visiting Ada High School boys basketball team lost 52-47 to former Northwest Conference foe Lincolnview on December 30 to end their six-game win streak.
The Bulldogs led 36-35 after three periods, but the Lancers outscored the visitors 17-11 in the fourth quarter to pull off the five-point win.
Ada committed six costly turnovers in the final stanza.
The road warrior Bulldogs fell to 8-3 overall with the defeat, their third away game in four days. Lincolnview improved to 3-5 after the home win.
“We didn’t guard well,” said Ada head coach Chris Sautter. “We had foul trouble, and turned the ball over way too much.
“Lincolnview was the aggressor, and had us on our heels,” he noted. “They were more physical than us in the paint.”
