LOOGOOTEE – Mistakes made sometimes in the regular season are sometimes punished, sometimes not and often times something to learn from. Mistakes made in the postseason are often fatal and, against a team like Covenant Christian that likely didn’t need an assist, Cloverdale could ill-afford to make many in Saturday’s IHSAA Loogootee Baseball Regional...

FISHERS – Allie Landry’s run in the IHSAA Girls’ Tennis Individual State Tournament fell one match short of the state finals Saturday as the Greencastle freshman competed at the Fishers Girl’s Tennis Individual Regional. Landry defeated Southport’s Carlie Streit 6-2, 6-1 in the morning session but fell to Lawrence North’s Isabelle May 6-1, 6-0 in the championship match...

BLOOMINGTON — South Putnam’s Wyatt Switzer finished 12th in the 300-meter hurdles and North Putnam’s Nolan Hackleman finished 16th in the long jump at Friday’s IHSAA Boys’ Track and Field State Finals at Indiana University’s Robert C. Hough Track and Field Complex...

When the IHSAA Boys’ Track and Field State Finals begins at Indiana University’s Robert C. Haugh Track and Field Complex, two Putnam County athletes will be on opposite ends of the waiting game as they prepare to take on the state’s best Friday afternoon...

For the first time in four decades, the baseball field at Cloverdale was getting worked on for an additional week of play as the Clovers prepare to face Covenant Christian this Saturday at the IHSAA Baseball Loogootee Regional at 3 p.m. Days after the sectional win over North Putnam the team was back in the practice groove, taking infield and batting practice ahead of the regional...

In a way, the week of preparation for Allie Landry ahead of this Saturday’s IHSAA Fishers Girls’ Tennis Individual Regional was both a little odd and yet comforting at the same time. The Greencastle freshman has played tennis across the area for several years, so the pressure of competing at the regional round won’t be unusual, but going from a team practice to working solo with head coach Anette Munoz was a new feeling...

CLAYTON – The third out just wouldn’t come for North Putnam Tuesday night. All but one of Cascade’s eight runs in the IHSAA Softball Class 2A Regional No. 22 came with two outs on the board as the Cadets ended the Cougars’ season with an 8-0 win. “That’s been a theme for us this year, really,” North Putnam head coach Kerry Roussey said about struggling to get third outs. “It’s been tough for us in some tight games for some reason. I don’t know why...

BAINBRIDGE — The win over South Vermillion in the championship game of IHSAA Softball Class 2A Sectional No. 44 was a cathartic release for North Putnam, ending a 17-year wait for a sectional title as well as ending the season of the team that had defeated the Cougars in their past three postseasons...

ROCKVILLE – Sport is a funny thing sometimes. After four innings of defenses and pitching on top, North Putnam scratched across the first run of the championship game of IHSAA Baseball Class 2A Sectional No. 44, added a pair of runs in the top of the seventh and looked set to add a second sectional title in a week’s time to its trophy case...

ROCKVILLE – After watching the other two Putnam County teams face off in the morning, Cloverdale and South Putnam got the chance to finally open postseason play in the fourth game of the IHSAA Baseball Class 2A Sectional No. 44. The Clovers trailed 1-0 after the top of the first but scored three times in reply and never trailed the rest of the way, knocking out the Eagles 9-3 and advancing to Monday’s final...
