The Ada High School varsity boys soccer team opened its fall 2024 campaign with an 11-0 shellacking of visiting Tiffin Columbian on Saturday, August 17 at War Memorial Stadium.

The Bulldogs raced to a 7-0 lead at the half and cruised to the lopsided victory in the coaching debut of new Bulldog mentor Aaron Acheson.

“Overall, I am very happy with the result,” said coach Acheson. “I loved the team spirit and the unity. We moved the ball around and were very unselfish.

“It was a nice start to the season,” he added.

Ada sophomore Andrew Allen tallied a career-high four goals to lead the barrage.

In its season opener, the Ada High School girls varsity soccer team enjoyed a big second half and beat visiting Tiffin Columbian 3-2 on August 17.

Ada trailed 1-0 at halftime after an own goal, but netted two goals in the first seven minutes of the second half to take the lead.

The Bulldog girls extended the lead to 3-1 on an impressive corner kick goal by Alex Gibson with 7:49 remaining.

The Tornadoes answered with a goal just 13 seconds later to cut the deficit to 3-2. But the Ada defense staved Tiffin off the rest of the way to hang on for the victory.
