    LEOPOLD—Ty Guillaume coached Perry Central’s JV girls basketball team the last five years, getting off to some good starts most of the time.
    For example, his 2009-10 team started the season 6-2. But when a JV team does well, some of its top players get moved up to varsity. That happened and that JV team finished 7-8.
    Before returning to his alma mater, Guillaume coached Corydon’s freshman boys team two years. But he said he did “not really” compile good records there either.

    CANNELTON—With only eight players on the roster and no one taller than 5-foot-7, Cannelton’s girls basketball team again lacks height and depth.
    That’s a familiar refrain for the Bulldogs. But this year they also have a shortage of experienced scorers.
    They do return Mikah Hemmings, a 5-foot-5 senior guard who averaged 21.1 points per game last year, just one-tenth of a point per game short of Kathy Alvey’s school record.

    LEOPOLD—Perry Central senior Austin LeClere was probably the best running back and best punter in the PLAC this year. But for Perry Central Coach Greg Gibson deciding which position to nominate him for on the all-conference football team was easy.
    A school can nominate only eight players for the team, except the kicking positions don’t count against the limit. So by nominating LeClere at punter Gibson allowed the Commodores to get nine players on the 32-man team.

    LEOPOLD—Linton-Stockton utilized a lot of skill players with speed and a strong offensive line to get them open as the Miners beat Perry Central 42-9 to win their Class A football sectional Friday.
