More to Hartman than athleticsPosted Friday, May 10, at 5:24 PM This story could be as easy as saying that Eastern Greene senior Michael Hartman is going to be running cross country at Cincinnati Christian College in Cincinnati, Ohio next fall. But there is certainly more to it than that. Anyone that knows Michael can attest to that...
Beverstock inducted into Hall of Fame Less than nine months after she lost her struggle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Jeanette Beverstock was inducted into the Indiana Amateur Softball Association Hall of Fame earlier this year. The Indiana ASA implemented a new recognition program called the Hall of Service...
Ben Boyd had unbelievable junior season As I have discussed before, there has been many standout seasons by area high school boys basketball. In my constant pursuit of information, I stumbled across some pretty incredible numbers by a guard named Boyd. Not Brody or Doug, but Ben Boyd. It was 1992-93 and Ben was a junior at Union High School in Dugger...
Chickadaunce, Bateman torched local teams In the history of high school boys basketball in Indiana, Greene County and Union, our area teams, there has been many standout individual performances. But I wondered about the opposite end of the spectrum -- who is some of the opposing players that have made life miserable for our local teams?...
Miners finish off a beautiful ride INDIANAPOLIS -- I've always thought that one of hardest things for coaches, players and fans to deal with is how to console yourself after losing the last game of the year, especially after having a great year and making a deep run in the postseason. After class basketball was enacted by the Indiana High School Athletic Association in 1997-98, a coaching friend said, "Everybody but four teams lose their last game of the season."...
How the Miners got to the semistate By the time this reaches print, it will have been a week since the Linton-Stockton Miners won its first boys basketball regional championship in 67 years. There were some amazing numbers that the Miners put up in victories over Clarksville (65-62) and Perry Central (68-63) at the Class 2A Southridge Regional at Huntingburg Memorial Gym on March 9...
Miners show grit in two comeback victories Nobody can say the Miners have cruised through the high school boys basketball state tournament so far. After giving up a 10-0 run to start the second half of the sectional championship game against Sullivan, the Miners watched a 26-17 lead turn into a 27-26 deficit...
Time for sectional semifinals For high school basketball fans, it doesn't get much better than this -- the boys sectional semifinals. Even though skeptics and critics will say the state tournament isn't what it used be since the advent of class basketball, the Friday semifinals are still pretty special...
A few mindless thoughts about uniforms For the very few of you that did not stay home to watch Indiana hold off Michigan State for the lead in the Big Ten men's basketball standings and watched the West Vigo at Linton-Stockton boys basketball game Tuesday night, what did you think of those Viking uniforms?...
Hart should get credit for sectional alignment As I was reading about girls basketball sectional semifinal pairings later this week, I was reminded of Joe Hart. Though no one would likely ever refer to the former Union High School coach and teacher as a genius, except Joe, I noticed his idea is in full swing...
Class 2A sectional is always competitive Although the local Class 2A sectional has changed locations and added teams, there has been one constant lately -- the games have been highly competitive and close. In the last four championship games, the largest spread has been seven points. That was a year ago when Sullivan defeated South Knox 50-43 in the title game at Bloomfield...
Super Bowl will have new look; Miners have impressive outing What is the football world going to do? No Patriots, no Steelers and no Colts. No Ben Roethlisberger, no Peyton Manning and no Tom Brady in the Super Bowl. We are just left with John Harbaugh vs. Jim Harbaugh and Colin Kaepernick vs. Joe Flacco. And what is so bad about that...
Fougerousse, Karazsia join exclusive club Linton-Stockton's twin towers -- Dess Fougerousse and Austin Karazsia -- are both making their marks in the Miner basketball record books. Earlier this season, the 6-5 Fougerousse eclipsed 1,000 points in his Miner career. Fougerousse scored 243 points this season, an average of 20.3. This now gives him a total of 1,145 points...
What did we learn from county tournament? Congratulations to the Linton-Stockton Miners, who took out Union, Shakamak and White River Valley to win the Greene County Invitational. It was the Miners first GCI championship since 2006 and fourth overall. Two-time defending champ Eastern Greene is still the all-time leader with 12 county tournament titles...
If I have done my math correctly, there were nine area high school athletic teams that won a sectional championship in 2012, and several that went beyond that success. None of those would have happened without the sweat and sacrifice of coaches and players and the support of their school and community...
Musselman is an unofficial historian for 90-point game Although Amos Musselman wasn't born on Jan. 26, 1917, he might as well have been. Amos grew up in Newberry listening to the stories of his father, Omar Musselman. And what a tale Omar had to pass on. He was witness to one of the greatest scoring games in the history of Indiana High School boys basketball...
Karazsia hoping for more changes to Miner football schedule The worst kept secret in the history of Linton-Stockton football is finally a done deal. The Class A Miners are no longer a member of the Southwest Seven Conference. Miner athletic director Charlie Karazsia confirmed this and a few other dominoes to fall by telephone after 9 p.m. Tuesday...
Pacers back at .500, for now Now is as good a time as any to write about my Indiana Pacers. At this very moment, they are back at .500 (9-9) and tied with Milwaukee and Chicago atop the Central Division standings. The Pacers began the 2012-13 season with lofty expectations after pushing the eventual NBA champion Miami Heat to six games in the conference semifinals last year...
Miners have record-setting season It was another record-setting season for the Linton-Stockton football team, with a number of school records being set. The L-S defense did not allow as few points as the 1923 Miners, who yielded only eight points all season. But the Miners only gave up 80 points all season. That equates to an average of 5.71 points per game...
Local roundball season gets underway As I write this Tuesday afternoon, 96 boys basketball teams are preparing to tip off the 2012-13 high school season in Indiana tonight, including Eastern Greene, which is hosting Owen Valley as the Thunderbirds and Patriots begin their campaigns. Most of the rest of the state, with the exception of Shakamak, Linton-Stockton and North Knox locally, and state football finalists Fort Wayne Snider, Lawrence Central, Mishawaka, Indianapolis Cathedral, Hamilton Heights, Indianapolis Chatard, Fort Wayne Luers, Indianapolis Ritter, Lafayette Central Catholic and Indianapolis Scecina, will begin the season Wednesday night.. ...
