Ada girls win pair road games

Jan. 17—Don't look now, but the Ada Lady Cougars may officially be on a roll.

The Ada girls socked Seminole 53-32 during a Friday night road trip and less than 24 hours later made the long trip to Hugo and held off the Lady Buffaloes 47-34.

Coach Christie Jenning's club has now won five of its past six games in 2024 to climb above the .500 mark at 7-6.

"It's great that we have won five out of six games, but we have some very tough games ahead," Jennings said.

The Lady Cougars will face some tests when they travel to the Jones Kiwanis Invitational, which tips off Thursday at Jones High School. The Lady Cougars are scheduled to tangle with Mount ST. Mary at 12:40 p.m. on Thursday in a first-round contest. Other teams in the field include the host Lady Longhorns of Jones (No. 4 in Class 3A), John Marshall, Heritage Hall, Metro Christian, Classen SAS (No. 14 in Class 4A), and the Mustang JV.

Ada, then returns home on Jan. 23 to host Class 3A No. 2 Idabel.
