The RR/SM Wildcats paid a visit on Pearl City to open up the respective seasons for both Girl's Basketball teams. And while the Wildcats used their speed and depth to pull out the 48-40 non-conference victory, both teams could walk away knowing they were on the right track. The Wildcats jumped all over Pearl City early – hammering the ball inside to Sydney Driscoll early against the PC 1-2-2 zone defense – while using strong half court man-to-man pressure on defense to force several tur...

As the final seconds ticked down in the 8-Man State Championship, it was difficult for many of the Orangeville Broncos to fight off the tears of coming so close, only to fall 12-7 in the lowest scoring 8-Man playoff game ... ever. The frustration was very real, because Orangeville did not get beaten by Polo – the Broncos were the better team in many respects – but they were unable to take advantage of the many opportunities they had to put the game away. So, in many ways, Polo didn't win – t...

My teeth were stained, so the dentist asked me, “Do you smoke or drink coffee?” I told him I drink it. Last week I had a funeral in Amboy, illinois. Amboy is exactly 83 miles from my house.

The 8-man high school Amboy football team had just played a game against the Orangeville Broncos. The closer I got to town, the more signs popped up encouraging the hometown team to beat their oppon...

I admit it, cooking has never been one of my strengths. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Is this going to be another one of your stupid columns where you try and make excuses for yourself?” “Hi honey, nice of you to stop in.” “Don’t ‘Hi honey’ me. I have sat back and said nothing every time you come across with some lame excuses for why your inherent laziness is perfectly acceptable. But I’m drawing the line here.” “I’m not lazy.” “I had to buy you slip-on shoes because you didn’t want to bend over to...

Lena-Winslow quarterback, Luke Benson, was a major factor in the Panthers semi-final victory over Ridgeview/Lexington Saturday in Lena, but he's used to not getting a lot of the headlines. "My job is usually to carry out my fakes and hand the ball off," he said. "As long as we're winning, I'm fine with that." But on Saturday, he opened the scoring when he used his powerful legs to push into the end-zone on a one yard quarterback sneak. On the following conversion, he faked handing the ball on a...
