Playing on their home court, the Ada High School girls basketball team competed well but lost 45-36 to Leipsic in a hard-fought NWC battle Monday night, January 31.

The game was moved up from Thursday due to an impending snowstorm. 

The Lady Bulldogs trimmed a 12-point deficit in half at 35-29 heading to the fourth quarter. Neither team scored during the first three-plus minutes of the final stanza.

Junior Leipsic guard Whitney Langhals then took off with a long defensive rebound and scored a key fast break layup with 4:49 remaining. The basket broke the ice and sparked a decisive 10-0 run that extended their lead to 45-29.

Fifteen minutes with Deb Curlis

Ada Area Chamber of Commerce director
Posted by Paula Scott on Monday, January 31, 2022

Deb Curlis will step down from her position as the director of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce at the end of February 2022. The Icon asked her for fifteen minutes to review her work with the chamber. 

Were you a chamber member before you became director?

I was the chamber representative for Community Health Professionals. When I first came to Ada to work, Matt Brown was the chamber president. He got me involved as a board member. Shortly after that, he took a job in Bellefontaine and I took over as president to finish out his term. I was re-elected and served five years as president.
