  • Sportsmanship: When did we lose it?

    It may have started disappearing when athletes started doing little dances to draw attention to themselves when they scored a touchdown. It may have started disappearing when soccer players took their shirts off and ran around the field after they scored.

    I don’t know when sportsmanship went away, I just know it’s gone.

  • Thorobreds fall in district final, 55-49

    The old saying is that “it is hard to beat your sister three straight times.” That is especially true if you shoot 27 percent from the field when you are playing the game. 

    This is not to say that Pendleton County’s 38th District Champion team is anybody’s sister, but so goes the old saying. It is hard to play against an evenly matched team and win three straight times no matter the circumstances, but poor shooting will doom a team every time.
