  • Huber, PC enjoyed historic...

    Perry County has been blessed with some great athletes in the 60 years that the IHSAA has held track regionals.

    But apparently only two have won more than one event in the same regional - Tell City's Steve Smith at Columbus in 1975 and Perry Central's Nick Huber at Evansville Central Wednesday.

    Both won both hurdles races (Smith also won the pole vault).

    There are only eight regionals in the state, and the Evansville Central one included teams from as far north as Vermillion County (north of Terre Haute's Vigo County).

  • Huber double winner in track...

    EVANSVILLE - Perry Central senior Nick Huber won both hurdles races to lead Perry Central to a tie for eighth place in the IHSAA boys track regional Wednesday.

    He is Perry Central's first boys regional champion in any event and only the second Perry County athlete - boy or girl - to win more than one event in a regional. Tell City's Steve Smith won both hurdles events and the pole vault in the 1975 Columbus regional.

    Huber won the 110-meter high hurdles in 14.80 seconds and the 300 intermediate hurdles in 39.46.

  • Marksmen fall to Boonville

    BOONVILLE - Tell City won in No. 1 and 2 singles but Boonville took the other matches to oust the Marksmen 3-2 in the girls tennis sectional semifinals Saturday.

    Thus even though the Marksmen lost, Kassen got to advance in the No. 1 singles tourney.

    Tell City sophomore Bethany Peter also won handily in No. 2 singles, beating Marissa Hodges 6-2, 6-1.

    Each of the other matches had at least one close set.

    Boonville's Sarah Foley held off Stephani Wrye 6-3, 6-4 in No. 3 singles.

  • James state champion

    INDIANAPOLIS - Cannelton's Sammie James and Allicyn Garrett won the discus title in the girls middle school state track championships Sunday.

    James, an eighth grader, threw the discus 96 feet, 10 inches to win the title. Teammate Allicyn Garrett, a seventh grader, placed second at 82-8.

    Both throws would shatter Cannelton's high school discus record of 75 feet, 71?2 inches set by Jennifer Stowe in 2004. And middle schoolers throw the same weight discus as the high schoolers.

    Cannelton Coach Rob Moskos said he was not surprised at the results.
