Records fell at SWIAC track
Posted Wednesday, May 8, at 5:30 PM Linton-Stockton's Michaela Hazlewood notched two more meet and school records to her resume while the Shakamak duo of Savannah Turner and Aleksey Green etched their names in the Southwestern Indiana Athletic Conference track and field record books Friday night at Linton-Stockton's Charlie Hoskins Track...
Why has sport become such a magnet? As the events unfolded during the closing stages of the Boston Marathon on Monday afternoon and later into the evening, I began to question why. It proves to be a difficult and most agonizing question, one that has been pondered before, many times. Sport has become more than just a place for athletes to show off their skills. ...
Linton-Stockton boys basketball coach Joey Hart is in some rarefied air this weekend. He joins a very short list of Greene County basketball coaches that have guided a team to the boys state title game. The only other name on that list is that of current Bloomfield High School athletic director Ron McBride...
Sparks Plugs offer plenty for Miners to digest Well Linton-Stockton basketball fans, you've been inundated with numerous factoids, facts, figures and bits of information about the Miners. That goes without saying that we're all pretty familiar with the likes of Dess Fougerousse, Austin Karazsia, Bryant Jackson, Jackson Bohnert, Keith Fulk, Ryan Woodward, Zach Riddell, Drew Witty, Sam Dyar, Cole Riggleman, Cody Kocher, Joe Dieball, Beau Eaton and Zach Johnson...
Well, here we are again on the verge of another boys high school state tourney -- the 103rd to be exact -- so as has been the case for the last few years, here again are the numbers. Sectional games are set to begin on Monday, Feb. 26 and run through March 2 with the title games...
Lakers were the final team left standing Shakamak was the last girls basketball team left standing, after winning the Class A Clay City Sectional on Feb. 9 After their fourth try under current boss Troy Fougerousse Shakamak finally won the school's first sectional title. It came at the expense of the team that's been the biggest postseason thorn in their sides, the host Clay City Eels...
We shall see what happens now Let's have a show of hands -- how many of you out there really think the new "Success Factor System" recently implemented by the IHSAA will make a difference in the long run to keep the parochial, private and charter schools a class higher than they are now?...
Here's the facts and figures for the girls tournament Well that magical time in high school basketball "Hoosier Hysteria, Ladies Style" and once again I thought I would pass along all of the nuts and bolts, facts and figures associated with the event. It's the 38th edition of the quest for a girls state title and the field includes a total of 399 schools. That breaks down to a total of 5,433 student-athletes involved across four different classes...
Who's your wife, mistress and friends in sports? Before I begin this let me just say that I am a sports fan, always have been, always will be. And further, I enjoy thoroughly all of the sports and young people that my job requires me to cover. Make no bones about that. But on a personal level I got to thinking the other day about my sports preferences and how they would relate to a relationship...
Another honor for Scottie and it's a big one Another honor for Scottie and it's a big one Well, you can add another honor to Scottie Ingram's resume and it's a pretty big one. Not only will the former Eastern Greene Lady Thunderbird be playing volleyball for Murray State University next season, she will do it with the moniker Small School All-American...
Oh those basketball differences, how they can be diverse Once again the seasons have begun to change. Not the color of the leaves or anything, but rather the uniforms and equipment. Yes fans, football is nearly behind us except for the run by the Miners and volleyball has been tucked away into our memory banks...
It was a great run for EGHS seniors FERDINAND -- There's nothing for the Eastern Greene volleyball team to hang there heads about -- and that's not to say that they are. Scottie Ingram, Casie Divine, Darci Abell, Anna Jenness and Leanna Bailey have set a standard for Lady Thunderbird teams that will make it tough for anyone who follows behind them...
Before this begins let me say that sometimes you just have to step out of your element and cover some new ground. So with that in mind, here goes. One of traditional country music's stalwarts graced the stage of the Boot City Opry near Farmersburg recently and for just one night -- I along with many other traditional country fans -- was given a chance to do more than just take a stroll down memory lane...
Things seem to be progressing nicely Well here we are about halfway through the fall sports season. And for the most part things have gone about as expected for area fans. There are a few teams that have shown they're just about as strong as they were last year -- namely the Linton-Stockton football Miners and the Eastern Greene Lady Thunderbird volleyball teams...
So why do they wear a uniform anyway? When Daily World sports editor B.J. Hargis begins a statement with "dumb question" usually anything but that ensues. And in the case of what I'm about to reflect upon the same holds true. With myself being the resident baseball junkie, B.J. has a tendency to refer any and all related questions toward me, which is fine...
Let the games begin Well sports fans it's that magical time again. You know the time when the countries of the world unite for two weeks in an effort to keep alive the spirit and competition that Baron Pierre de Coubertin established oh so many years ago -- the modern Olympics...
How many sports writers does it take? You can tell it's summertime around here just by looking at who's getting stories in the news section of the paper. In case you didn't see it, in Tuesday's edition of the Daily World snuggled into the recesses of the heart of the paper was a small story about a fire at the Linton Conservation Club...
It's a dead issue folks, time to move on Just for the record, I'm a proponent of single-class basketball in Indiana. Now that I've made my stance on this it's time to climb onto the soapbox and expound for all to hear that it's a dead issue, one that's going nowhere. Recently the Indiana High School Athletic Association was faced with a dilemma thanks to one sneaky state senator and legislation he introduced that would ban the class system in high school basketball...
New crop of stars coming to South Bend The 2012 class of college football hall of famers will invade South Bend and the College Football Hall of Fame later this month. This year's crop of inductees includes several names well known to the masses and couple more that might be known only to a regional audience. But nevertheless it's still an impressive group -- one that can seen up close for almost nothing...
Few achieve the last rung of the championship ladder With spring sports into its zenith, I thought it might a good idea to see just how many teams or individuals in the history of the area have won a state championship. Before I begin passing along my research, let me preface it by saying these are the ones that I've been able to find...
