    Maroon-White game shows defense ahead of offense
    Both the Maroon and White defenses proved to be the dominant force for their teams as the Maroon-White scrimmage managed only one score during the semi-live scrimmage Friday night on Lawson Field.  
    The Ingles Stadium controlled battle was a demonstration of the fact that defense usually is ahead of offense in the early part of the season.  
    Coach Jim Carr said he was disappointed at first as the scrimmage went on, but after viewing the film he felt better about the effort.

    Coach Bill Faulkner greeted large numbers for the 2014 volleyball season as 27 players make up the JV/varsity roster.  
    That is the good news.
    The not-so-good news is that only three of the players returning have any varsity experience to speak of and what experience they have is not in the position they are scheduled to play this year.

    Deanna Lunsford wanted to try something a little different.  She had been an assistant to Harrison County Middle School Track Coach Alicia Glenn for five years when the cross country job became available.  
    Coach Danny Simpson had retired after a lifetime of coaching. Lunsford had just begun to run herself plus her daughter Tamara was on the cross country team.  
    “It seemed like something that I would like and I wanted to help the runners,” said Lunsford. “I am learning on the job and it is exciting.”

  • Good coaching and maybe not so...

    Before I get into my thought for this week, I want to relay a story given to me by Barb Snopek as she received from one of the participants in the Burley Belles Tournament.  
    A lady from northern Kentucky who was playing in the tournament had a flat tire on her way and stopped in one of our local establishments to have it fixed or replaced.  She was in danger of being late for her tee time but misfortune struck at the most inopportune time for her.
