Amey Takes Aim

Andy Amey writes about local high school basketball.

Amey Takes Aim: Mashall’s pride was roaring during unforgettable run

Only 29 seconds remained Saturday afternoon when Marshall’s Lions finally realized their 11-game high school football winning streak had come to an end. Taylor Duncan’s fourth-down pass had fallen incomplete, visiting Maroa-Forsyth had the ball — and a 17-point lead — and the Lions’ offensive unit trooped dejectedly off the field.....more>>

Amey Takes Aim: Envelope please … it’s the annual Amey Awards for Valley football
It’s been a high school football season Mike Stiener would have loved. Probably the toughest kid in my class at Center Grade School and Lowell High School — or at least he would have tried to convince you he was the toughest — Mike was our team MVP in football our senior year as a 130-pound guard and middle linebacker (I was in the running for LVP, but that’s another story), flew supplies into the Middle East during the first Gulf War, and is currently the pastor of a little church in the hills of northern California.
Amey Takes Aim: Pomeroys’ success has this columinst smiling
Let me be the first to say that I should have been on this bandwagon a lot sooner; 15 years ago or so, in fact. Considering what I do for a living, I could have been a lot more vocal and enthusiastic when the decision was made back then to offer athletic scholarships at St. Mary-of-the-Woods. I wasn’t opposed to the idea, and calling me skeptical would have even been a little too strong. But I guess I just kind of shrugged and said, “Oh well.” So long as it didn’t affect Sunday brunch, I was OK with it.
Amey Takes Aim: We’re one week away from dream prep playoff football matchups
Isn’t it about time for the Rockville-Linton high school football game? And can you have too many games between Casey and Marshall? Both those scenarios could be a little more than a week away, provided the four teams take care of playoff business Friday and Saturday.
Amey Takes Aim: You don’t have to look far for inspirational Valley teams
This is a weekend when it would be nice if I could be two places at once — three if you count trick or treating — so I’m going to have to ask a favor of you. As many of you as possible need to get out to LaVern Gibson Championship Course on Saturday to support Terre Haute North’s teams in the high school cross country state championship meet.
Amey Takes Aim: Postseason success is still possible for many Valley teams
In the past few weeks, when we’ve been so busy that this column has found neither time nor space to appear, you’ve missed a lot of really good predictions.
Engineers looking to end three-game skid at home
Rose-Hulman is hoping to halt a three-game losing streak when it plays host to Hanover College in a Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference football game on Hall of Fame Day. Kickoff is 2:30 p.m. today at Cook Stadium.
AMEY TAKES AIM: Indiana football sectional realignment didn’t make things easier for Valley schools
Today, students, we are going to study population shifts in the greater Indianapolis area.
Amey Takes Aim: Amey vacation: A return trip to The District might be in order
The FDR Memorial, the Museum of Natural History, the Holocaust Museum, the American Indian Museum, the Gallery of 20th-Century Art, the Bureau of Engraving, the National Archives, the U.S. Capitol, the White House and a touring company of Second City, our favorite comedy/improv group.
That’s a partial list of the things Jenny and I didn’t see on our vacation to Washington, D.C.
Amey Takes Aim: Making a comeback as Home Run Derby pitcher while Cubs fade
Having glanced up from my arduous work for just a few seconds Monday night — and seeing mostly commercials as a result — I have decided to make a comeback.
