  • Tell City to host Southridge

    TELL CITY - Tell City will host its fourth state-ranked opponent of the season when the Marksmen face Southridge in PAC football Friday at 6:30 p.m.

    The 4-1 Raiders are ranked eighth in Class 2A in the Associated Press media poll and ninth in the coaches poll.

    They have a fast running back in Brett Roesner, a 5-foot-10, 165-pound senior who frequently scores on long plays.

    He ran 52 yards for a touchdown in last week's 28-6 win over South Spencer and made an 81-yard touchdown run in the Raiders' overtime loss to North Posey two weeks ago.

  • Inconsistent Trojans to take on Commodores

    OAKLAND CITY - Wood Memorial, which will host Perry Central Friday at 7 p.m., is a hard football team to evaluate this year.

    For the most part the Trojans have beaten the teams they should and lost to the ones they should. They are 1-4 but have lost to three 5-0 teams after beating 0-5 Princeton.

    However their 16-8 home loss to 1-4 Eastern Greene was somewhat unpredictable.

    Tell City jumped to leads of 6-0 and 14-4 in the second game but Cannelton came back to tie it 23-23.

    Nakaa Myers served seven consecutive points to start that comeback and also served the tying point.

    The Marksmen scored the final two points of that game, though, when Cannelton was unable to return their hits.

  • Correction

    A Sept. 18 News report incorrectly stated a bid for ammunition from E&E Guns and Sporting Goods of Tell City was approximately 2 cents per round higher than that of a Hawesville, Ky., store. The E&E bid was actually lower, owner Gary Esarey pointed out.

    Cannelton Police Chief Kenny Kellems, who was making the purchase from a county law-enforcement fund not supported by taxes, said Monday he'd already made the purchase from Hawesville's Ace's Sporting Goods based on a determination by county attorney Chris Goffinet that the Ace's bid was lower.
