  • PC, TC draw home games

    INDIANAPOLIS - Perry Central and Tell City drew first-round home games in the IHSAA football sectional drawings Tuesday.

    The Commodores will host 1-6 Wood Memorial in a Class A first-round game 7 p.m. Oct. 24.

    They will also likely have a second-round game at home against 5-2 North Daviess, which is heavily favored to beat 0-7 Springs Valley in their first-round matchup.

    If the Commodores survive that game, they would have to go on the road for the championship game.

  • Tell City will try to stop...

    TELL CITY - Gibson Southern's double-threat quarterback will test Tell City's defense when the two meet in PAC football Friday at 7 p.m.

    Cory Michel, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound senior, quarterbacks the 3-4 Titans. He is ninth in southwestern Indiana in passing yardage with 708 yards. He has completed 66 of 131 passes for 50.4 percent.

    But in last week's 63-20 win over Pike Central he scored five touchdowns on runs of 42, 41, 1, 72 and 52 yards.

    Excelling in both areas is not new for Michel, as he passed for over 1,000 yards last year and also ran for over 1,000 yards.

  • Shorthanded Springs Valley to...

    LEOPOLD - Several coaches thought this year's Springs Valley's football team would be better than last year's. But injuries have hit the Blackhawks hard and they will bring an 0-7 record to Perry Central for Friday's 7 p.m. PLAC game.

    The Blackhawks lost four two-way starters to injuries early in the season. Two tore anterior cruciate ligaments, which means they are done for the season.

  • Marksman boys 2nd; girls 3rd in...

    HUNTINGBURG - Competing without their top runner Tell City boys placed second in the PAC cross country meet Saturday.

    Alex Fenn had been the individual conference champion the last two years but did not finish Saturday's race due to a recurring illness.

    "He started quite well - he was with Cody Stein (of Heritage Hills), the leader for about two miles," said Tell City Coach Chris Hollinden.

    "But then we could tell that he wasn't all right. He started to fall back and we pulled him out of the race with about 200 (meters) to go."
