Ada boys soccer looks to challenge Bluffton, gets new playing surface

Posted by admin on Tuesday, August 17, 2021

The Ada boys soccer team returns a strong group of lettermen that should form the nucleus of a solid 2021 roster.

Some promising freshmen should also team with the returnees in an attempt to improve on last season's record. The Bulldog varsity roster boasts two seniors, 11 sophomores, four freshmen and five juniors, so 15 of the 22 players on the team are underclassmen.

Nine lettermen and seven starters return from a squad that ended up 10-9 overall and 4-1-0 in the six-team Northwest Conference, good for second place.
