Ada High School welcomes arch-rival Allen East to War Memorial Stadium on Friday, October 20, to climax the season in a battle of football teams with identical 3-6 overall records.

It looks to be the last Northwest Conference game for Ada (1-5 NWC) after 60 years in the league, fittingly against their biggest gridiron rival. 

In the 21st century the Bulldogs lead the heated series 14-9, highlighted by a 13-game win streak from 2005-17.

But the Mustangs (2-4 NWC) have taken the last five meetings in a row, all in decisive fashion, including 52-7 last year in Harrod. AE also captured four of the five matchups from 2000-04.

“We are focusing on us,” said Bulldog head coach Toby Smith when asked about the Mustangs. “We are attempting to try to do our job as often as possible so that we can see success on the field.
