Ada QB passes for 433 yards and 2 TDs, but Ft. Loramie wins

A huge night from Freshman quarterback Seth Conley wasn't enough as the visiting Fort Loramie Redskins marched into War Memorial Stadium and defeated the Bulldogs, 35-21. Conley passed for 433 yards and two scores, but two costly turnovers and a strong night from Redskin quarterback Andy Grewe dealt the Bulldogs their third loss in as many weeks. The non-conference defeat drops Ada to (1-3) on the season.

Fort Loramie struck first, as halfback Nathan Plieman scored on a fourth and goal from the one, capping an 11 play, 55 yard drive. The missed extra point gave the Redskins a 6-0 lead with 7:24 to play in the first quarter.
