“Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it,” said Floyd the Barber. “Calvin Coolidge said that, you know.”...

Congratulations to Jared Franklin of Linton who recently finished third in the third round of the annual Elks Hoop Shoot free throw shooting contest. Competing in the 12-13 boys age group, Franklin won local and district competitions to advance to the state-level third round contested February 24 at New Castle’s historic Chrysler Fieldhouse - the nation’s largest high school gym...

Sixty-four Indiana high school basketball teams – 16 in each of the four classes – celebrated sectional championships this past Saturday...

Legendary crooner Andy Williams famously sang the lyric, “It’s the Holiday Season” in his Christmas classic tune “Happy Holidays.” The Holiday Season of course means much more than presents under the tree, family gatherings and Christmas dinners, New Year’s Eve parties and the endless stream of meaningless second-and third-tier football bowls on the telly...

The 2017 football season has been one of unprecedented gridiron success for the Eastern Greene Thunderbirds. In fact each of the last three years in succession has brought “the best season in program history” for the once-fledgling Eastern Greene football program...

It’s still football season in Greene County. And our Eastern Greene Thunderbirds have an excellent shot at advancing to the semistate when they take on the Fountain Central Mustangs in Friday’s regional at Eastern. But this being Indiana fans all around the state eagerly anticipate the sounds of the bouncing ball against the hardwood, the cheers from the enthusiastic crowd and the official’s whistle...

Fall sports season isn’t over just yet. It’s definitely winding down though as the postseason continues in two sports and begins in a third. And there’s a big weekend ahead in local high school sports. Six Greene County cross country runners will compete in the Brown County semistate. One area volleyball team is still alive, playing in Saturday’s regional...

It’s hard to believe but school starts again in less than a week...

One year ago today it was written in this very space, “Excitement is building to a fever pitch on both sides of Greene County as the 2016 gridiron campaign approaches for our two county football programs. Anticipation is running high in Eastern Greene County after the best season in school history. And in Linton, expectations are always lofty...

While there isn’t a whole lot going on in the month of July as far as the local sports scene is concerned some of the biggest events of the summer are happening within the next week...

Once spring sports season wraps up many sports fans - and sportswriters too - are starved for action. But there’s plenty going on in the summer months to whet the old appetite until the next school year and fall sports season begins anew. Since I started writing for the Greene County Daily World in August of 2014, I’ve covered three First Financial Wabash Valley Football Coaches Association All-Star Classics...

With the recent passing of my high school classmate and friend Jennie Moehlmann I hoped to find a way to pay Jennie a fitting tribute. The best I could come up with was this feature story written by B.J. Hargis on Linton’s first girls basketball sectional championship in 1976 - the year of the first official IHSAA girls basketball state tournament...

Hard to believe but another high school baseball season has come and gone. And what a season it was! Any conversation about the season just concluded almost certainly has to begin with the White River Valley Wolverines. As everyone in the living, breathing world knows by now, WRV won the Class A Sectional 57 championship on Memorial Day. The amazing story though is how they did it...

I’ll begin this column with a rhetorical question: Is there anything Bloomfield’s Felicity Graf can’t do?...

Basketball season is “officially” over now - at least for the five Greene County schools. Before we revisit “the season that was” there is something I must address. I need to issue a public apology. After Linton-Stockton and Eastern Greene lost on the opening night of the sectional, I tweeted - wrongfully so - “Basketball season’s over.”...

After winning its first sectional title in nine years, Shakamak is headed to the Martinsville Regional...

Every year is seems Class 2A Sectional 47 is one of the most - if not the most - competitive sectionals in 2A basketball...

Wow, I almost hate to say this...

It’s hard for me to believe the fourth weekend of basketball season is already upon us. Didn’t football season just end? But here it is, Week 4 already. And I’ve only been to five basketball games so far. And I still haven’t seen Bloomfield, White River Valley and Shakamak in action - although I’ll get my first look at the Lakers Friday...

In 2015, the Linton-Stockton Miners and the Eastern Greene Thunderbirds both enjoyed the most successful football seasons either program had ever experienced. This year, the Thunderbirds have exceeded last season’s historic achievements. And Eastern Greene’s first-ever football sectional championship last week leads us to another historic first - the first all-Greene County Class A Regional matchup, Friday at Thunderbird Field...
