Cougars sit atop district standings, but dangerous waters await
The Ada High School football team is right where it wants to be at this point in the season. After a 22-7 win over Tulsa McLain last week on Homecoming night at Norris Field, the Cougars are sitting atop the District 4A-4 standings.

The Ada High School football team, known as the Cougars, is currently leading the District 4A-4 standings after a 22-7 victory over Tulsa McLain on Homecoming night. Coach Wade Boyles expressed pride in the team's performance, stating that they are exactly where they need to be after overcoming a 0-3 start earlier in the season.
The Cougars have maintained positive attitudes despite their challenging beginning, with their hard work paying off in recent games. Currently, Ada, Sallisaw, and Stilwell each have a 2-0 record in district play, while the Cougars hold the maximum 30 district margin points, followed by Sallisaw with 16 and Stilwell with 15. The Cougars face their next challenge against the Poteau Pirates, a ranked No. 6 team in Class 4A.
Poteau has a 3-2 overall record and 1-1 in league play, and their offense is led by sophomore quarterback Levi Taylor, who has thrown for nearly 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns. The Poteau defense is known for its varied formations and aggressive pressure on opponents. Ada will face adversity, as several of their starters are dealing with injuries and are considered game-time decisions.
Despite the challenges, Boyles remains confident in his team's ability to perform well, particularly with the addition of young depth to their lineup.
