Ada varsity head coach Vince Halliday enters year two of his rebuilding process for the Ada boys basketball program in 2022-23. 

With eight seniors in the fold and a solid, athletic top six rotation, there is cautious optimism that this year's team could be much improved. 

Eight lettermen and four senior starters return from a Bulldog team that finished 4-19 overall and 0-8 in Northwest Conference play. Ada dropped their last 15 games after a promising 4-4 start.

The visiting Ada girls basketball team fell behind early at local rival Cory-Rawson, then rallied before losing 49-45 in a non-league battle Tuesday night.

The Lady Bulldogs fell to 0-2 with the defeat, while C-R improved to 2-1 with the close victory.

"The main thing that hurt us is turnovers and we didn't consistently execute offensively, especially when we needed to," noted first-year head coach Zack Ricker. 

"We were in foul trouble again and we just essentially made too many mistakes," he added.
