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.

More than 2,200 adults were asked to name their greatest sports star. The winner: Michael Jordan.

After the Indianapolis Colts defeated the San Francisco 49ers 18-14 at Lucas Oil Stadium, and after the Baltimore Ravens knocked the surprising Denver Broncos from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 30-7 victory on Sunday, the Colts have the AFC’s best record at 7-0.

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.

If Sunday was the time for the debate, it was over by technical knockout in the second quarter of the Colts’ 42-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams at the Edward Jones Dome. On Brown’s second run from scrimmage, he strained his left shoulder. He did not return and was not on the sideline during the second half.

I love fall foliage and some of the crisp autumn evenings, perfect for a bonfire and roasting marshmallows, but not so perfect for playing golf! We’ve had so much rain that I’m not getting any roll, and believe me, I need all the help I can get! So even though I haven’t quite put my clubs away for the season, I’m already starting to think about next year.

Former Union High School and Iowa basketball Brody Boyd has left the Wabash Valley for a second time to go to Iowa City, while ex-White River Valley and Butler basketball star A.J. Graves has started a pro career in Europe.
