Posted by Staff on Wednesday, November 30, 2022

By Cort Reynolds

The Ada High School girls basketball team defeated visiting county rival Hardin Northern 39-25 behind a fourth quarter defensive stand in a hard-fought matchup Tuesday night, November 29.

Ada led 25-23 heading to the fourth period, and held Northern without a field goal in the final quarter to win going away.

The Bulldogs improved to 1-2 with their first victory, while HN fell to 1-1 with the non-league defeat. 

The Polar Bears sank just one field goal in the final 10 minutes against the stingy Ada defense.
