Girls sectionals begin Tuesday night
Posted Monday, February 6, at 12:48 PM The 37th annual Indiana High School Athletic Association girls state basketball tournament gets underway Tuesday at 64 sectional sites across the Hoosier State. Locally, there are two sectionals -- the Class A affair at Clay City and the Class 2A postseason tournament at Bloomfield...
Scotland High School was a member of the Indiana High School Athletic Association from 1916-17 to 1954-55, when the school consolidated into Bloomfield High School. Scotland, a tiny rural Greene County school, would never have been confused with a basketball powerhouse...
Yoho and Talpas making history this season Of the all the thousands of area (Greene County plus Union) high school boys basketball players to ever play in a varsity game, 62 (unofficially) have been credited with scoring 1,000 points in a career on the hardwood. I am sure a few old timers might have slipped through the cracks...
A look back at the Greene County Invitational SWITZ CITY -- With the 42nd annual Greene County Invitational boys basketball tournament in the books, I thought I would take a look back at the five-day, 12 game-event and jot down some observations and see if there were any insights gained moving forward into the final two months of the high school boys regular season...
Yeryar had record for a short time Some sports records last for a long time and others are eclipsed in a short period of time. That was the case for Krista Yeryar and Missy Gould at Shakamak. During the 1992-93 girls basketball season, Yeryar became the all-time scoring leader at Shakamak High School...
CARLISLE -- I've always said the most interesting part of my job is the people I get a chance to rub shoulders with from season to season. Whether it is players, parents, coaches, athletic directors, secretaries, teachers, administrators, other school workers, colleagues and co-workers, they have made all of these years in this crazy business a very interesting ride. Maybe something similar to a roller coaster at an amusement park with all its ups and downs twists and turns, ha ha...
A closer look at free throw shooting Any body from the old school, myself definitely included, appreciates the fundamentals of "The greatest game ever invented." That line of course being from the movie Hoosiers, and the character Shooter, played by Dennis Hopper. And there is nothing more fundamental in hoops than free throws...
Yoho joins exclusive club When Eastern Greene senior JT Yoho scored 21 points in a 72-48 victory at Mitchell Saturday night, he joined an exclusive club. He became just the seventh boys basketball player at Eastern Greene to reach the 1,000-point plateau. He currently has 1,018 points and needs just 14 points to pass Kyle Lindsey, a 1995 graduate who amassed 1,031 career points...
Pairings set for Wabash Valley Classic TERRE HAUTE -- Pairings for the 12th annual Pizza Hut Wabash Valley Classic boys basketball tournament were announced at Terre Haute North High School Tuesday. Former Terre Haute Garfield and Indiana State multi-sport standout Jim Waugh was the special guest and drew out the teams to make up the brackets for the 16-team field, four-day tournament...
Miners had record-setting year but come up short of state finals As I write this column on Friday morning, it is about three hours to kickoff of the Class A state championship football game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The contest will feature No. 1 Lafayette Central Catholic (14-0) vs. No. 10 Indianapolis Scecina (11-3)...
It was location, location, location for the Miners The adage in selling real estate is location, location, location. For the Linton-Stockton football team Saturday night, it was field position, field position, field position as the No. 3 Miners blanked No. 5 Milan 28-0 at home to win its sixth regional championship...
Earlier this week, Wright State men's basketball coach Billy Donlon announced the signing of two high school seniors who will attend WSU and play basketball for the Raiders. Eastern Greene's JT Yoho and Jacob Roddy of Manual High School of Peoria, Ill. will join the Raider roster next season...
Miners win ninth sectional title ELNORA -- The Linton-Stockton Miners claimed its ninth football sectional in school history after defeating host North Daviess 61-8 here Friday night in the Class A Sectional 40 title game. "This never gets old," said Linton-Stockton assistant coach Joe Lorig. "This is just a great bunch of kids...
Miners won first regional 25 years ago A lot of Linton-Stockton Miner football fans recall the 1986 squad, the first to win a regional under coach Charlie Karazsia. I thought I would take a look back at that very solid Miner squad that easily won the Tri-County Conference. The Miners opened the season on a Saturday night in Indianapolis against Brebeuf High School...
Football teams have some interesting postseason records With the postseason in high school football set to start two weeks from Friday, I thought it would be a good time to talk about an interesting set of statistics I discovered at www.johnharrell.net. John Harrell has the sectional and tournament football records of all the schools in Indiana, dating back to 1973, when the Indiana High School Athletic Association football tournament began...
Eighty-one is a lot of points, no matter what era It is almost incomprehensible for any high school team to score 81 points in a high school football game, but the Linton-Stockton Miners did it in a 61-point victory over North Daviess Friday night at Roy Williams Field. The 101 combined points scored by the Miners and Cougars was a record for any game I ever watched...
Yes, another column about the Colts It seems like all football fans in Indiana can talk about these days are the Indianapolis Colts and when and or if Peyton Manning will return from his neck surgery. I refrained from saying hapless 0-2 Indianapolis Colts. My sidekick Rick Curl gave a wonderful dissertation about some of the wonderful signal callers that have called Indy and the Colts home over the years before Manning came from the promised land of Tennessee some 13 years ago. ...
Miners putting up some impressive numbers Austin Karazsia continues his impressive start to the 2011 season. The 6-5 junior quarterback, who has tossed 14 TDs to just two interceptions in four games, threw for 384 yards and five touchdowns in a 54-20 victory at West Vigo Sept. 9. The yardage broke his own single-game mark, which was 353 yards against North Daviess last September...
A third Thunderbird played Division I basketball When it comes to Eastern Greene High School basketball history, everybody knows about Levi Carmichael, the Thunderbirds all-time leading scorer, and TJ Yoho. It is believed they are the only two EGHS players to hoop it up at a Division I school -- Carmichael at Austin Peay and Yoho, who announced that he has received an offer from Wright State in Dayton, Ohio and will be playing there in 2012-13...
LITTLE CINCINNATI -- I have been blessed to attend press conferences where high school athletes are prepared to make their declaration about where they are going to take their talents to college. Monday afternoon here at Eastern Greene High School, such was the case for EGHS senior guard JT Yoho...
