Today's Sports

Stuart Warner, a professor at Case Western Reserve University, has written a biography of Charles, “Jock” Sutherland entitled “Jock: A Coach’s Story,” which will be published by Wind Publications this month.  Warner also is a very accomplished writing coach, as he has written or edited three Pulitzer Prize- winning entries and edited three other Pulitzer finalists.

This book is about the legendary Kentucky sports figure Jock Sutherland, who was the basketball coach at Harrison County for seven years.

Tuesday, Feb. 23, will be the first night of action for both the Fillies and the Thorobreds in the 38th District tournament.  The tourney begins with Deming and Pendleton County facing off on Monday, Feb. 22. The girls’ game is at 6:30 p.m. and the boys’ game is at 8:15 p.m. Game times are the same for Tuesday when Harrison County and Nicholas County face each other in girls and boys action.

e from Indiana doesn’t make them a Colts fan anymore than being a cow makes you give milk. 

It might be likely, but not necessarily a must. That is the way it is with me and the Colts. I was for the Colts, but New Orleans winning didn’t really bother me. If it had been the Steelers, now that would have been a horse of another color. In fact, one good thing about New Orleans winning was that a former Indiana Hoosier player made the big interception and scored the back-breaking points.

The last time I attended a cheerleader competition the boys’ state tournament was still being played in Louisville.  I think it was the year that Jeff Lamp and Lee Raker played for Ballard, which would have been 1977. They both went on to play for the University of Virginia, but that is another story. 

Anyway, it has been a long time and that was the only competition that I have been to ever.     

So, the competition Sunday on the Hilltop was something new for me and I found it quite interesting.
