It is Indiana’s only Robert Trent Jones Jr. course, which is much better than a trip all the way to Alabama!

While stock cars will always have their Richard Petty, champ cars their A.J. Foyt, and drag racing their Don Garlits, those who compete on the nation’s short tracks just seem to fade away once their days behind the wheel come to an end.

As hard as it is to believe, there are presently no men’s fastpitch leagues available on the local softball scene.

Weber, who coached the South team in the fourth annual Wabash Valley Football Coaches Association All-Star Game on Saturday at Memorial Stadium, had predicted a low-scoring game and it was in the first half — much to his team’s dismay.

That alone shows how far soccer has come, but it really hit home for me during a conversation earlier this week.
