Ada Bulldogs finish 2nd in final NWC season

By Cort Reynolds

COLUMBUS GROVE __ In its season finale on May 16, the Ada High School girls softball team won decisively 7-1 at Columbus Grove to set the program single-season record for victories and also finish 7-1 for the second straight year in Northwest Conference play.

The purple and gold ended the year 18-4 to eclipse the previous mark of 17 wins set by the 2018 district championship squad.

Ada finished second, a game behind league champion Lincolnview (8-0), and came in two games ahead of third-place Crestview (5-3).

Grove dropped to 11-9 overall and 3-4 in the NWC with the defeat.

Ada joins the Blanchard Valley Conference next season. With most of the team returning and the Lancers losing several key seniors, the Bulldogs would likely have been the favorite to win the 2025 NWC title.
