Ada vs Perry game results at bottom of BHS game

ADA - Visiting Bluffton finished the game on a 17-5 run to avoid an upset bid by winless local rival Ada and pull out a 55-52 victory in the Northwest Conference boys basketball opener.

The Bulldogs led 47-38 with under six minutes remaining to play after junior Cayden Murphy followed up a miss inside for a basket. 

But then the Pirates began pounding the ball inside to reel off an 11-0 flurry and take a 49-47 lead.

On your next night time cruise of the holiday lights of Ada, make certain you slow down past this welcoming picturesque West Lima Avenue scene.
