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

Amey Takes Aim: Rain didn’t slow down Fourth of July sports action
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.
Amey Takes Aim: All-Star football game ‘greatest thing since sliced bread’
Because the high school football season is so short — and because almost all of its games are played on the same night every week — the annual Wabash Valley Football Coaches Association All-Star game will probably continue to remain one of my highlight events of every year.
Amey Takes Aim: Fort Wayne here we come …maybe
I’m almost ready to congratulate Sam Karr right now. 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.
