WINONA LAKE — However low Triton goes, Warsaw always seems to be a stroke better.

GREENFIELD — Plymouth basketball standout Mack Mercer and his coach have been doing a little carpooling lately.
Mercer was selected in April as one of the six core players on the IndyStar.com’s Junior All-Star team, when PHS head coach Ryan Bales was also selected as one of just three coaches to the team, and the two have been enjoying the off-the-court time they’ve been spending together lately.

Diamond Spyders have big arms to fill as season opens Saturday

June 6, 2013

PLYMOUTH — The coming of the summer means the start of the American Legion baseball season in Plymouth, and Post 27’s Diamond Spyders will have to deal with some key pitching losses but also return some key elements for the coming year.
“I think some of the teams in the area had some success with young teams and we’re hoping for the same,” said Post Manager Will Hostrawser. “When you lose two quality pitchers like Sean Liedtky and James Hackworth, those aren’t necessarily guys you’re going to replace. We will be as successful as our pitching this year.”

Bremen ousted by Adams Central at Whiting Regional

June 3, 2013

By
Paul Honeycutt

WHITING — There’s not much you can do against a team that is hitting over .400 this season.
That’s what would ultimately be the Bremen Lions’ demise, as they came into the Class 2A Whiting Regional riding high after their Westview Sectional triumph with an 8-0 win over Churubusco and an 8-7 win over Westview in the final.
But unfortunately for Bremen, it ran into a finely-tuned hitting machine in Fort Wayne Luers Sectional winner Adams Central, who pounded out 14 hits on its way to an 11-1 six-inning rout of the Lions on Saturday afternoon in the first regional semifinal at Whiting.

BLOOMINGTON — Say this for Leah Heckaman: She’s got a positive attitude.
Even though Heckaman had to face one of the toughest fields in years in the weight events, including a new state record holder in the discus, the Culver Academies junior was all smiles following Saturday’s IHSAA girls state track finals.
“I had a good day,” said Heckaman, who finished fifth in the discus and 10th in the shot put. “I knew what I wanted to do, and even if everything didn’t go perfect, I’m satisfied.”
