The defeat dropped the Bulldog record to 0-6 overall and 0-3 in the Blanchard Valley Conference. The Falcon girls improved to 4-2 overall and 2-0 in the BVC after the victory.
“It was a repeat of giving up too many offensive rebounds and making too many turnovers,” said Ada third-year head coach Zach Ricker. “Many of the turnovers were not really forced.

“We have to improve in rebounding the ball defensively,” he continued. “We can’t give up 20 extra shots a game between turnovers and offensive rebounds.”
