Carpenter sets school record for Triton
Quentyn Carpenter set a nine-hole school record, and Triton’s boys golf team beat out a four-team field at Rozella-Ford Thursday.
Carpenter’s 3-under-par 32 set a new program low for the Trojans, while number three Tanner Shepherd shot a strong 38, Ryan Rapp carded 39, and Lucas Shafer turned in a 40 as Triton beat out its next closest competitor, Bremen 149-188.
PLYMOUTH - The methamphetamine problem in Marshall County reaches into more areas than just those involved with the manufacture and use of the drug.
Police have conducted two raids on properties on West Washington Street in Plymouth in the past few months, the most recent netted two arrests and an intricate methamphetamine lab on Monday. The county GIS system lists the owners of the property as Jim and Sharon Carnes.
Being listed as the owners of the property has caused both Jim and his wife to feel their reputation has been damaged in the community.
ARGOS - A pair of Argos High School students hope that something good may come of tragedy.
Richii Zieber and Mat Milliser are friends of Courtney DeMont, the Argos student who remains in critical care after and accident on April 18. The incident struck both deeply.
“It really got me when I heard and I went for a walk,” said Richii remembering that night. “I went to Mat’s house and talked to him because I wanted to do something to help the family and talked about maybe covering a song for her. On the way home I decided I was going to write a song for her.”
ARGOS – Now that the purchase of 75 acres of land has been finalized, the town faces one more hurdle - annexation.
In order to do that, the town council voted to petition as a landowner to the governing body, itself. This fulfills statutory requirements for annexation where the landowner is freely requesting the action, Argos town attorney Derek Jones said.

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.
