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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kickoff is 2:30 p.m. today at Cook Stadium.

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 23:04:00 +0000 http://www.glasgowdailytimes.com/tribstar/amey_takes_aim/local_story_189230517.html http://www.glasgowdailytimes.com/tribstar/amey_takes_aim/local_story_189230517.html It takes more than a few raindrops to stop a good Fourth of July celebration. A little precipitation wasn’t going to slow down Tapring Goatee or Josh Bedford or the rest of the competitors in the Fast Track Mile. Organized fireworks displays may have had to have been postponed, but the disorganized ones were going on in every neighborhood I visited Saturday night.

As soon as I heard earlier this week that Fort Wayne was going to be the site for the 2009-2010 girls basketball state championship games, I figured it would be inevitable that the Tribune-Star would have a team to cover up there.

I can boil that controversy down into one quick fact: where you are drafted has a lot more to do with your measurables than how good a player you are.
