  • 12-run inning lifts Senators...

    CAMPBELLSBURG - Trailing 9-4, West Washington erupted for 12 runs in the fourth inning to beat Perry Central 16-12 in PLAC girls softball Wednesday.

    The Senators had only four hits that inning but also took advantage of a hit batsman and five Perry Central errors that inning - most of them on throws.

    "We just handed this one away," said Perry Central Coach Greg Gibson. "Our throwing mechanics have to get better.

    "We're young and we got rattled, and for whatever reason we couldn't turn off the scoring."

    "In nearly every event Castle had someone phenomenal and we had someone equally as good," said Tell City Coach Chris Hollinden. "But because of their numbers (Castle is the largest school in Southwestern Indiana with an enrollment more than three times that of Tell City) they had a second person in each event almost as good as their first one."

  • McClintic plays good floor game...

    EVANSVILLE - Her shooting was rusty but the other parts of Kara McClintic's game were strong in the Hoosier Basketball Coaches Association's girls all-star game Sunday.

    The Tell City senior started at point guard for the West team and had six assists, five rebounds, two steals and one blocked shot in 27 minutes of action.

    Her first assist was probably her best, a nice thread-the-needle pass to Northeast Dubois star Allie Matheis for a wide open layup.

    McClintic had two assists in the last 50 seconds of the first half to help the West build a 45-38 halftime lead.
