AHS girls basketball defeats Ridgemont

Posted by Staff on Tuesday, January 17, 2023

By Cort Reynolds

The visiting Ada High School girls basketball team raced to a 20-0 lead and cruised to a 55-19 win over county rival Ridgemont Monday evening, January 16.

The Bulldogs improved to 8-8 with the lopsided non-league victory. Meanwhile, the struggling Gopher girls fell to 0-11 with the defeat.

"We had a big lead early and it just grew from there," said Ada head coach Zach Ricker. "It gave us an opportunity to rotate girls and play with different lineups than usual.

"I felt like we shared the ball really well again tonight," he added. 

Bulldog senior guard Courtney Sumner canned 11 baskets with one trey to tally a game-high 23 points.

Ada pressed its way to a 14-0 margin, led 20-0 after the opening stanza and was never threatened. Sumner netted six two-point baskets in the first quarter.
