  • PC has veteran golf team

    LEOPOLD - Coach Bill Dickerson thinks having an experienced team will lead to more improvement for Perry Central's boys golf team this season.

    The Commodores return five of their top six players from last year, when they finished 15-32, beat one team in the PLAC for the first time, and finished a best ever eighth of 14 teams in the Jasper sectional.

  • Kast turns down chance to play...

    Tell City graduate Kris Kast attended two weeks of spring practice with Notre Dame's football team recently and found out he could have made the team. But he declined because he wants to concentrate on academics.

    When one of the top football programs in the country finishes with a worst ever 3-9 record, as Notre Dame did last fall, apparently it looks for new players everywhere, including among students already on campus.

    So 30 potential walk-ons reported for the first day of spring practice.
