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...

With Tyler Meurer running past defenders, Garrett Mason running over people, and Keaton Cox and Kendall Williams running around and through them, the Linton Miners offense has garnered much of the attention this season. Understandably so. The Miners offensive juggernaut is rolling up 418 yards and 55.2 points per game...

This was not supposed to happen. Nobody expected the Linton-Stockton Lady Miners to beat the Barr-Reeve Lady Vikings and win Class 2A Volleyball Sectional 47 at North Knox. But they did. In their best collective effort of the season the Lady Miners shocked Barr-Reeve - and the world - knocking off the state’s third-ranked team in Class 2A...

For the past several years the Southwestern Indiana Athletic Conference cross country scene has been highly competitive. Every year it seemed three of four teams had a legitimate shot at winning - for both the boys and the girls. And a bumper crop of individuals made the race to the top interesting...

When it was announced this past spring Linton-Stockton and North Vermillion would meet of the field again - this time at Lucas Oil Stadium - Jim Gordillo of the Bloomington Herald-Times tweeted, "This is turning into quite the little rivalry, isn't it?"...

It must be spring. Is it Spring? I don't think it's spring. But last weeks weather-related postponements and cancellations sure made it seem like spring sports season instead of fall. And the rainouts of the Terre Haute Early Bird Invitational and the White River Valley Invite have made it tougher to get an early read on the cross country season...

The coaching carousel turned round and round and finally it stopped. The much-anticipated announcements surrounding the varsity boys basketball coaching vacancies at Shakamak and Bloomfield came out publicly this week. A month ago former Lakers coach J.B. Neill was hired to replace Dave Mahurin at Edgewood. The Bloomfield coaching position had been open for seven weeks since Matt Britton stepped aside...

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. Expectations are running high in Eastern Greene County after the best season in school history. And in Linton, expectations are always lofty...
