Another great Harvest and Herb Festival filled Main Street on Saturday! Downtown Ada was full of people, festival food, vendors and of course, the parade. Ada certainly put its best face forward.

What a game! Bulldogs by 1 over Pirates thanks to Levi Bass blocked PAT

A monster 28-point fourth quarter and a late game blocked extra point helped the visiting Ada Bulldogs secure an amazing comeback victory as they defeated the Bluffton Pirates, 42-41. Down 35-14 with just over a quarter to play, the Bulldogs rallied behind the arm of Freshman gunslinger Seth Conley, scoring four times in a thrilling fourth period. The win moves Ada to (2-3) overall and (1-2) in the Northwest Conference.
