Spring has arrived and while all the rain has made it a chore to enjoy the outdoors, the warmer weather has perked up my spirits over the past few days.

The Hoosier Basketball Coaches Association was formed in 1985 with some noble goals. But it hasn't achieved them very well lately because of a lack of organization.

It was formed to get more attention focused on players from that part of the state.

LYNNVILLE - Tecumseh pounded out nine hits to beat Tell City 6-4 in PAC baseball Wednesday.

The Braves scored four runs in the bottom of the first inning to take the lead for good.

Tell City had scored three runs in the top of the first against Tecumseh starter Dalton Froman.

"We did a decent job of putting the ball in play," said Tell City Coach Phil DeSpain.

He said the Marksmen might have scored more runs that inning but "we had a baserunning error and got out at the plate.

"After the first inning we didn't hit him much at all."

INDIANAPOLIS - Continuing a family tradition, Perry Central's Bo Gibson has been named to the South team for this summer's Indiana North-South football all-star game.

Gibson, a two-way standout at running back and defensive back for the Commodores, is listed as a free safety on the South roster, though the team's coaches may use the players at whatever position they think they need them.

Gibson's brother, Derek, played defensive end for the South team last year and won the team's mental attitude award.
