This one will get me in trouble. I know. Been there; done that.
The Indiana High School Athletic Association, which spends lots of effort and money promoting good sportsmanship, likely will ban me from the press box when the state baseball tourney is held at Victory Field. That is, by far, my favorite state tourney.
Member schools, […]

Hopefully, the battle tonight for the Lafayette Jeff Boys Track & Field Regional championship will be between Carmel and Noblesville.
That’s the way it has been in the big meets this season. Carmel twice has edged the Millers, once in the county meet and once in the sectional. With Carmel not around, Noblesville won its first […]

If that happens, fans will pack the park.

Rained out twice, Noblesville and Carmel will not meet in baseball this season. Unless, of course the IHSAA sectional drawings have the Millers and Greyhounds battling somet ime during the tourney.

In an earlier column when I wrote about the score change which gave Carmel the Hamilton County track meet championship over Noblesville, I also touched on a meet held years ago when another score correction also changed the outcome.
Since I wrote that column, Dale Snelling has produced THE facts on what happened on April Fool’s […]

Westfield and Hamilton Southeastern, Part III.
Could it be any more exciting?
No, this is the sectional.
Could the meet go any other way?
Don’t forget Carmel.

I’m not as dumb as you think (maybe). I’m not so old that I’ve lost my hearing (well, not all of it). I’m not so hard-headed that I don’t understand (although my wife won’t agree with that).
I read your e-mails. I listen to your telephone calls. While covering Hamilton County athletic events, I come face […]
