ADA - Host Ada dominated county foe Hardin Northern 65-46 Saturday night to post a decisive non-league boys basketball rivalry victory.
The Bulldogs jumped out to an 18-7 first period lead and never trailed in the game. Playing well, Ada extended the margin to 34-14 at intermission. HN rallied within nine late in the third stanza but could get no closer.
The Bulldogs pulled away with a 19-10 fourth period to win by 19. Hard-driving junior playmaker Brandon Hull continued his strong play with a game-high 27 points and several assists.
The cutout bowling pin sign at Norada Lanes north of Ada provides for an interesting view of traffic passing toward Ada. It the lights on that vehicle represented a bowling ball, it certainly looks like a strke from this vantage point.

The FDA approved Enhertu to treat adults with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer that cannot be removed with surgery or has spread to other parts of the body.
HER2-positive breast cancer is aggressive and accounts for an estimated 20 percent of breast cancers, according to the FDA.
