With the tournament comes the tidbits
Posted Friday, February 3, at 11:48 PM As you've probably guessed by now, the IHSAA is getting ready to begin the process of crowning a state champion in girls basketball. Just as I've done in the past, I thought I would lay out some facts and figures for you to ponder as the days to the sectional slowly fade away...
Here's some semi-useful food for thought Well, since the return to regular-season basketball has arrived -- and since my colleague B.J. Hargis has thrown in his two cents on what went down in his latest column, I thought I would pass along a few tidbits. The first thing I would like to pass along concerns the Bloomfield Cardinals and next year's Thanksgiving weekend...
Well the time is upon us once again. You know that time when it seems like everyone has their mind on holiday hoops tournaments. We here in Greene County are fortunate to be at or near the epicenter of high school basketball holiday (and beyond) clashes...
Lady Wolverines making strides forward SWITZ CITY -- Just over a year ago the White River Valley Lady Wolverines basketball team got a new head coach and a began a rebuilding process. For former Indiana All-Star A.J. Graves the task at hand was one that would be filled with stumbling blocks the first year...
Redemption comes in all forms BLOOMINGTON -- In sports redemption comes in various ways -- and for the Purdue Boilermakers and Indiana Hoosiers it comes in the shape of a bucket with many I's and P's strung together to make a chain. It's a chain that has seen the two teams battle on the gridiron for possession of the bucket 87 times, including this past Saturday...
More tidbits for your gridiron appetite As the Linton-Stockton Miners football team stands on the verge of school history, that is one win away from the school's first state finals appearance in football, I found some more little tidbits that might be of interest to area football fans. There will be 10 total games around the state either Friday or Saturday night with places in Lucas Oil Stadium next week on the line...
Lady T-Birds truly deserved a state finals trip The end of the 2011 volleyball season might not have been the one the Eastern Greene Lady Thunderbirds might have wanted, but they certainly deserved to be where they finished -- at the state finals. "Getting here was just absolutely fantastic," head coach Gina Ingram said. "So I'm not disappointed. Getting beat in three is not what we wanted to do. ...that's not the way we wanted to go out, but I'm not disappointed with anything that this group of kids has done this season."...
Plenty of nuts and bolts for the gridiron tourney Well it's that time of the year again. You know, when all of the high school football teams in the state of Indiana throw their won-loss records out the window as they prepare for the state tournament. This year marks the 39th time a state champion will be crowned. And as usual there are plenty of tidbits and morsels of information to spread around...
The Land of Oz won't be the same When I got home Tuesday night and turned on the latest highlights from MLB Network, I saw the official announcement roll across the bottom of the screen about Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen being released from his contract. Being the most adamant White Sox fan for many years and the only one in the office, I feel it my responsibility to comment on his leaving the team...
There comes a time in every man's life when he needs a little proof are the words from a country song by Johnny Rodriquez. But these days it could be the words from the mouths of Colts fans. I for one have always wondered in the back of my mind what would happen if Peyton Manning couldn't make a start for Indianapolis? Well, now we know...
More college gridiron history for your inspection The college football season makes it way into another week and once again courtesy our friends at the National Football Foundation, I've found a couple of things that might be of interest to area fans. September 17, 1988 -- No. 10 Florida State upset No. ...
Get ready college football fans, here we go Well, it's certainly been a while, but the college football season is almost upon us. So with that in mind and with a little help from our friends at the National Football Foundation who supplied most of the details, let's take a look at what happened in college football history for the week of Aug. 29 to Sept. 4...
Fans may not realize it yet, but there's a new tennis sectional alignment this year. The reshuffling by the IHSAA has cast the Linton-Stockton Miners, Bloomfield Cardinals, White River Valley Wolverines and North Daviess Cougars into the same four-team sectional...
Beware there's something among us It has come to the attention of this reporter that certain facts pertaining to the arrival of fall sports have been hid and obscured by members of an elite, fringe society. A society so secretive and reclusive that only now have its membership roles been unlocked and made available, at great risk to their own existence, by a former member of that society...
The beginning is near sports fans, be aware With less than a week to go before schools can begin practicing for the upcoming fall sports season, the light at the end of the tunnel has started showing. Yes that's right local sports fans in less than seven days student-athletes in six different sports will once again begin preparations...
It stinks being born on a Monday The recent birth of my second granddaughter Hannah got me to wondering what was happening the day I was born. Yes I know it's an age-old question that very few people every really answer. So I decided to see what was in the air or in the water or in the mix the cold, snowy and wintry day in February of 1960 when Mr. and Mrs. Curl's little future sports writer was rushed into the world kicking and screaming -- something I've never been accused of stopping since...
It's been an interesting series of events There's a new member of the world thanks to my daughter Rikki and son-in-law Sean. Her name is Hannah Elizabeth Howard and she becomes the second member of the Curl Granddaughter clan. Born last Thursday morning (July 14) at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital at Ft. Campbell, Ky. the six pound one ounce, 19 inch long Hannah entered this world at 9:04 a.m. local time and immediately began a life that she appears somehow predestined to fulfill...
It was supposed to rival the National Football League in every way. It was supposed to -- and did for a short time -- draw big name talent from both the college and NFL ranks to its fledging world. It was supposed to be the league that sculpted a new face of football...
Defunct leagues still leave a trace Quickly, how many of you can recall more than one now-defunct professional sports league? Probably the most prevalent in Indiana at least, will be the old American Basketball Association. With their red, white and blue basketballs and the twice champion Indiana Pacers it's not hard to remember for sports fans here in the Hoosier State...
Daytime racing set to return to the Action Track...finally It's been awhile, but daytime racing will finally return to the famed Terre Haute Action Track on Sunday, July 3. That's when the Traxxas Silver Crown Series returns to the half-mile oval that has kept open-wheel racing fans on the edge of their seats for years...
