On May 28, the first annual Ada varsity baseball and softball "Strike Out Cancer" benefit game raised $2,516.50. That total is expected to rise with another round of t-shirt sales.

The nine-inning game ended up 19-15 as the winning team rallied from an 11-0 deficit. The co-ed teams were comprised of players from both the Ada varsity baseball and softball teams.

Spencer Wall slugged three homers while Roman Snyder drilled two long balls, the second of which broke a 13-13 tie in the seventh inning. Kadin Phipps launched two sky-high home runs over the left field fence. Zach Neiswander and Tyler Jameson also went deep once each.

Horner on today's job training, wages and workforce

Posted by Staff on Monday, May 23, 2022

A message from the Apollo Career Center Superintendent Keith Horner:

I recently read in GraphsandLaughs that there were 11.55 million job openings and 5.95 million unemployed people in March [2022]. This is very close to two jobs available for every job seeker, which is consistent with what we see in this region. Every sector that Apollo works with is experiencing workforce issues.  

As a result of these issues, we have seen a couple of things happening. One, wages are increasing, even for high school students.  It is not unusual for our high school students to make $15 to $20 per hour.
