  • Exchange student stars for Tell...

    TELL CITY—Members of Tell City’s athletic department may want Randy and Lisa Cole to pick their lottery numbers, as they have been really lucky in bringing star foreign exchange athletes to Tell City.

    One can count on one hand the number of exchange students who have ever starred for Tell City sports teams. And two of them have stayed with the Coles.

    Two years ago Kathi Kassen lived with the Coles and was one of the Marksmen’s top volleyball and girls tennis players.

  • Tell City vs. Perry Central...

    TELL CITY—Tell City and Perry Central will meet in varsity football for the third consecutive year 7 p.m. Friday at Legion Field.

    Prior to 2007 the two schools played each other in every level of football but varsity.

    When they finally met in a Friday night game that year, it drew an overflow crowd.

    Last year with Tell City having a small, young team and with some of the curiosity factor about how the teams would match up removed, the game drew a much smaller crowd at Perry Central.
