The Ada High School boys basketball team was scorched by the three-point barrage of visiting Crestview on Friday night, January 28. The Knights shot their way to an 81-54 win in Northwest Conference play.

The visitors knocked down 12 of 22 shots beyond the arc.

"They shot the ball really well," said first-year Bulldog head coach Vince Halliday. "Our two keys were to value the ball and protect the rim, but we started off turning the ball over and we didn't protect the rim all night.

"They passed well and they have a high basketball IQ, a good feel for the game," he added. "They are a deep team. We did not put up much resistance."
