INDIANAPOLIS — The loss of their star running back left Bremen reeling early. A disastrous third quarter spelled the Lions’ undoing.
Bremen surrendered two scores and the lead in an error-filled third frame, ultimately falling 21-7 to Tippecanoe Valley at the Horseshoe Hall of Fame Classic at Lucas Oil Stadium Saturday.
ARGOS — The Lady Dragons couldn’t hold on to an initial lead, falling 3-1 to Munster in the Argos Girls Soccer Invitational championship Saturday, while LaVille beat NorthWood 1-0 in the consolation match for third place.
Argos’ Raelynn LaFrance gave the Dragons the lead in the championship on an assist from Shelby Sanders in the 22nd minute, but Munster’s Cayla Bales hit a long range snipe from 35 yards to tie it the very next minute.

BAKU, Azerbaijan — Culver Girls Academy junior Kayla Miracle of Bloomington won the silver medal at 56 kg/123.25 lbs. on the first day of women’s freestyle wrestling at the FILA Cadet World Championships Thursday.
Miracle had a 3-1 record during her competition, capturing her first three bouts to earn a spot in the finals. She opened by pinning Naveen Naveen of India, then stopped 2011 Cadet World bronze medalist Ekaterina Myagkova of Russia, 4-1, 4-0. In the semifinals, Miracle defeated Alyona Kolesnik of Azerbaijan, 1-0, 3-0.
ROCHESTER — After last week’s disappointing season-opener with Bremen, Plymouth was looking to see some improvement from its defense.
The Rockies made some big plays on defense Friday — including a 54-yard blocked field goal return for a touchdown to go up two scores early — and Plymouth kept hold of the Hickory Stick traveling trophy with its first win of the season, a 28-20 victory on the road at Rochester.
CULVER — Culver Military Academy’s fourth-quarter defensive stands left football head coach Andy Dorrel sounding like a philosopher Friday night — in a good way.
Stuck in a hole by a pair of fourth-quarter offensive turnovers, the Eagles’ defensive unit responded each time with a takeaway of its own — a fumble recovery by linebacker Mixon Holmes and game-icing interception by senior cornerback Joel Tinney — to hold on for a 27-20 win over visiting rival NorthWood at Oliver Field.
