PLYMOUTH — When senior sprinter Sam Stevens’ season ended with a pulled hamstring over the weekend, Plymouth boys track coach John Barron knew his team would be in for an uphill battle with Wawasee.
Add to that a number of personal bests by the Warriors at Wednesday’s Northern Lakes Conference dual meet, and the Pilgrims couldn’t quite get it done in a 75-57 Senior Night loss.
CULVER — The Zeller name is currently one of the biggest in basketball, and organizers plan to bring to bring some of that excitement to Culver June 5 through 7 for a Zeller family-sponsored youth camp open to anyone entering 4th through 9th grade.
ELKHART — What a difference a day made as Plymouth’s Pilgrims came back from a tough conference loss at home to take a big win on the road over Elkhart Memorial 10-7.
“We battled and got a win; it’s a team we got beat by earlier in the year, and that’s what it’s about,” said Plymouth head coach Ryan Wolfe. “We’d like to win two, but if you can’t we’ll take it.”
WALKERTON — John Glenn started out the season on a 10-win tear, but the Falcons suddenly seem to be slumping. Bremen’s baseball team is on the rise, meanwhile.
Headed in opposite directions, when the two teams met at The Nest in Walkerton Wednesday, it made for an old-fashioned spanking.
Bremen plated seven runs in the top of the first on the strength of six hits and four Glenn errors, and the Lions never looked back in a 13-2, five-inning defeat of the Falcons on the road.

Culver falls at Jimtown
Culver Community lost an 18-8 game on the road at Northern State Conference-leading Jimtown Wednesday.
The Jimmies recorded 19 hits in the game, including two home runs apiece by Evan Oblinger and Cole Gaugler as they downed the Cavs in five.
Nick Pritz homered and doubled for Culver, which responded to a five-run Jimtown first with five runs of its own in the top of the second, but fell too far behind to dig out of as the home team scratched out seven runs over the second and third innings.

LAPAZ – Fingernails on the chalkboard are a thing of the past as LaVille Elementary School prepares to install Promethean Boards in its classrooms before school opens in the Fall. While already fully integrated at Laville Jr./Sr. High School, the elementary school has only a few units in place now as a test. While some other county schools have similar technology, Union North schools will be fully equipped as school begins next year.
PLYMOUTH - Two are in custody after a drug raid on a house on Washington Street in Plymouth yesterday.
Plymouth Police and Marshall County Sheriff's deputies served a warrant at the address near the city's downtown on Tuesday morning and made two arrests. At the home were Jamie Scott Wacasey, 34, of Plymouth and Karla Danille Felix, 27, also of Plymouth.
