Bloomfield tennis team begins practice for fall
Here’s a thought to help you beat the heat.
The fall sports season will start in the middle of next month. Things will cool down and local sports fans can watch football, boys tennis, cross country, girls golf, and soccer. As usual, Terry and I will bring you previews of each team.
Bloomfield tennis coach Mike Canty said the Cardinal netters will begin practice at 6:00 p.m. Monday, July 30, at the Bloomfield sports complex tennis courts south of town. Players must submit their physicals before they will be permitted to practice.
Several Stingrays Set Records
The Greene County Stingrays conducted an awards ceremony Tuesday night at the A.M. Risher Aquatic Center.
Coach Kyle Kirchner recognized four swimmers for setting new pool records for the Risher pool. I forgot to put those in Wednesday’s story, but here they are:
Emma Brinson, girls ages 15 and up, free style.
Trey Goodman, boys age 15 and up, butterfly and individual medley.
John Powers, boys ages 9-10, free style.
Kennedy Landis, girls ages 9-10, free style.
As an added bonus, here are two pictures of Greene County swimmers taken Thursday, July 12, at the home meet with South Vermillion.
COA Volleyball
COA Volleyball will sponsor several volleyball camps this summer.
The Terre Haute sports club will sponsor a middle school camp for girls in fifth- through eighth-grade from Monday, July 30, through Thursday, Aug. 2, at Terre Haute South. The camps will run from 6-9 pm each day and will cost $65. Brian Payne, a former coach at South, will serve as camp director.
An elementary camp for girls in second- through fifth-grades will be offered from Monday, July 23, through Thursday, July 26, at South. The camp will run from 4-6 pm each day and will cost $50. Payne will also serve as director for this camp.
COA is also offering a clinic for girls ages 7-14. Each session costs $5, but there is no sign-up; participants just show up and pay.
The clinics will be offered on June 25 and 27 and July 9, 11, 16, and 18 at Honey Creek Middle School. General skills clinics will be offered from 3-4 pm each day, and advanced skills clinics will be offered from 4-5:30 pm.

Quote of the Month
It was late in the game Friday, July 13, and the South squad trailed 27-24 in the Indiana Football Coaches Association All-Star game with about 90 seconds to play. The referees ruled a third-down pass incomplete even though the receiver appeared to make a diving catch.
South coach Andy Owen of Evansville Central yelled out to one of the zebras: “When he catches the ball and rolls over twice, it’s still a catch.”
