ADA - Friday's intriguing season and home opener is the first meeting between Ada and New Bremen as part of a two-year, home-and-home series.
Playing in the powerful Midwest Athletic Conference, the Cardinals are primarily a running team. NB lost quite a few seniors from last season, but is likely better than their 2018 record (6-4 overall, 4-4 MAC) indicates because of their rugged schedule. They finished sixth in the formidable 10-team league last season.

OTTAWA - The Ada golf team ended up third in a three-team Northwest Conference meet Tuesday hosted by Columbus Grove at Ottawa's Moose Landing Country Club.
Paulding won with 190 strokes, followed by Grove (204) and Ada (225).

Bulldog junior Jacob Morgan also recorded a 59, while sophomore Kamron Wilkerson added a 74 to round out the Ada scores.

ADA - Behind a potent offense, the 2019 Ada football team looks to rebound from an injury-plagued season as the Bulldogs come off their first sub-.500 campaign in 15 years.
A potentially explosive offense could help the Bulldogs return to playoff and league contention.
After winning their 2018 opener the injury bug bit Ada hard, and the purple and gold managed just one victory vs. Delphos Jefferson over the final nine games. The Bulldogs missed the playoffs for only the second time in the last 12 seasons.
However, there was a silver lining to all the tumult and adversity.
Women’s team
The Ohio Northern women's golf program will look to take another step forward in 2019-20. The Polar Bears have their vision fixed on the top of the conference following a fourth-place finish in 2018-19.
"I feel real confident with the women's team," seventh-year head coach Chad Bucci said. "This is my best recruiting class, and I see the team doing exceptionally well."
The success of Northern will likely stem from junior Lydia Cranmer (Farmington Hills, Mich./Ladywood). She won four of the seven tournaments she teed it up in last season.
