Ada Gets a Boost from Lindsay in 47-35 Loss
While Deante Lindsay delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Ada. Despite the defeat, Lindsay was still balling out as he picked up 154 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 60 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Lindsay might just drop another big game when he faces off against Stilwell on Thursday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Lindsay saw the Indians), he picked up 162 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
