    LANESVILLE—Perry Central made six of its first 10 three-point shots in beating Lanesville 61-42 in boys basketball Saturday.
    For the game the Commodores made 8 of 15 from behind the three-point line. They hit 3 of 4 in the first quarter.
    “The reason (our three-pointers) were going in was we were taking good shots,” said Perry Central Coach Matt Carter.

  • Cold Bulldogs fall to Rappites

    NEW HARMONY—Cannelton hit only 19.6 percent from the field in a 53-35 girls basketball loss to New Harmony Friday.
    The Bulldogs shot better from three-point range (24.0 percent) than from two-point range (16.1 percent).
    “We couldn’t do anything,” said Cannelton Coach Mike Garrett. “We had almost as many fouls as we had points.
    “We couldn’t get to the basket (because of charging calls) and we missed a lot of defensive rebounds we should’ve got.”

  • PC girls fall to Mitchell

    LEOPOLD—Perry Central committed 27 turnovers in a 42-37 PLAC girls basketball loss to Mitchell Saturday.
    “We played hard but we didn’t play with very much mental intensity,” said Perry Central Coach Bill Dickerson. “Mitchell pressed a little bit, but it was not anything we didn’t see at (Springs) Valley.
    “It’s just really frustrating to play like that when we’ve been playing a lot better.”

  • Turnovers doom Tell City

    MOUNT VERNON—Tell City committed 32 turnovers in a 52-23 girls basketball loss to Mount Vernon Saturday.
    “We played a pretty good first quarter (trailing only 12-11),” said Tell City Coach John Lyons. “Then we just started making turnovers and it went downhill from there.
    “We took a 14-13 lead early in the second quarter; then Mount Vernon went on a 33-0 run. It was 46-14 in the fourth quarter before we scored again.

  • Perry Central’s James, LaGrange...

    LYNNVILLE—Perry Central’s Travis James and Hunter LaGrange have been named to the Region 9 senior all-star football team in voting by the region’s coaches.
    Only players from the South’s five all-region teams are eligible for Indiana’s North-South all-star game in July. The South team will be selected in March.
    James made all-region on the offensive line, where he has been a star blocker for Perry Central’s potent running game the last two years.

  • Fame induction will be star-...

    When Wes Davis, Pat Malone and Dave Schank are inducted into Tell City High School’s Athletic Hall of Fame Friday, they won’t be the only former star athletes in attendance.
    As I said in an earlier column, it would be nice if some of the baseball players who helped the Marksmen win a conference title last spring could attend. But the four seniors from that team are all playing college baseball and have already started spring practice, so it’s unlikely they will be able to make it to the 4:30 p.m. induction ceremony.

    The Bulldogs led at the end of each of the first three quarters, taking a seven-point lead at the end of the third period as Brandon Cook banked in a 50-foot three-point shot at the buzzer.
    Cook hit another three on Cannelton’s first possession of the fourth quarter, pushing its lead to 10 points. The Bulldogs, however, could not sustain their momentum.
