ADA - Visiting Ridgemont raced to an 11-0 lead and went on to post a 60-36 win over Hardin County rival Ada in non-league girls basketball action on a rare Monday night game.

The Bulldog girls dropped to 5-11 after the defeat, while the Lady Gophers improved to 5-9 with the surprisingly lopsided victory.

"It was super disappointing; we came out super flat," admitted Ada second-year head coach Morgan Bass. "We talked about effort and attitude, two things we can control, at halftime.

"The second half was better but there is no excuse for the start," she continued. "It's frustrating."

The Polar Bears (6-9 overall, 2-6 Ohio Athletic Conference) were just 20-of-70 from the floor for 28.6 percent, which included a 10-of-37 effort (27.0) from beyond the 3-point arc.

Junior Thomas Phillips ((Kenton) led three ONU players in double figures in scoring with 15 points, tying his career-high with five made 3-pointers. Freshman C.J. Napier (Miamisburg/Bishop Fenwick) added 13 points and sophomore Brandon Waugh (Columbus/Northland) had 11 points.

ADA - Visiting Lima Central Catholic methodically defeated Ada 63-33 in non-conference girls basketball action Thursday night.

Lady Thunderbird senior post Rosie Williams muscled her way to 31 points inside to pace LCC to victory.

The Bulldog girls fell to 5-10 overall with the defeat, while the T-Bird girls improved to 8-7 with the victory.

"We just had no energy to start the game," said Ada second-year head coach Morgan Bass. "We had no answer for Williams and got off to a slow start.

"LCC is good," she continued. "They have a perfect combination of a big girl inside and shooters outside who can hurt you."

A journey of persevervance and leadership

ONU women's senior basketball captain Martrina Parks
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, January 17, 2020

If given the opportunity, Martrina Parks wouldn't change a thing. Even though the path wasn't clear or devoid of bumps along the way, she wouldn't go back and course correct. Everything Parks has gone through has made her into the player and leader she is today. 

Parks isn't like many of teammates or opponents. She didn't gravitate toward the sport of basketball at a very young age.

Parks began her athletic endeavors in the competitive cheer world. It wasn't until middle school when Parks' father encouraged her to give basketball a try. 

While post moves and ball-handling skills would come eventually, one thing was evidently clear from the beginning.
