Today's Sports

If you’ve tried to talk to me the past week or so, there’s a good chance I never heard a word you said.
My hearing is terrible, and has been for many years. For the past five years, I’ve worn hearing aids and I woke up one morning last week to discover our new dog had come into our room, somehow knocked my hearing aids off the nightstand, and chewed them up to the point where they where useless.

They don’t normally make the headlines, their names are not in the box scores unless at the very bottom, and they don’t make the all-star teams, but perhaps the most essential individuals in high school sports are the contest officials.

The holidays are over, we’re in the middle of a brutal arctic cold spell, and  the early January doldrums can lend way to cabin fever.

If you’re needing to get out of the house, Friday night affords you a perfect opportunity to enjoy a few hours of really good basketball while supporting our local teams in Spencer County.

The Bears and Lady Bears will host Collins in a 30th District doubleheader, with the girls tipping off at 6 p.m. and the boys following at around 7:30 p.m.
