An Ada freshman received All-Northwest Conference girls basketball honors from league coaches in voting conducted at their annual selection meeting last Monday night.
Freshman point guard Courtney Sumner led the Lady Bulldogs in scoring, assists and three-pointers to earn honorable mention all-league notice.
"Courtney was a huge help not only because she is good and she is a true point guard, but because she allowed others to be put in positions where they can be most successful," said Ada head coach Morgan Bass.

ADA - Feisty host Ada played top-ranked and undefeated Columbus Grove even or better for the first 25 minutes, but a big fourth quarter lifted the visitors to a 56-46 win in the Northwest Conference boys basketball regular season finale Friday night.
Ada led 39-36 heading to the final period after senior post Jake Rayl made a layup off a Cayden Murphy pass. But Grove showed championship poise as they reeled off a 15-2 spurt over the next six minutes to seize a 10-point lead.
