SATURDAY’S BOYS’ GAMES | Pioneers put unbeaten mark on line against 3-1 Scottsburg

Saturday, December 11th, 2021

By GREG MENGELT It hasn’t always been easy or pretty, but the Providence Pioneers are sitting at 4-0 through four games. Providence stared last year 3-0 in Ryan Miller’s second year as head coach, so Providence is no stranger to fast starts. Last year in a bit of a rebuilding season, the Pioneers went 12-9 […]

Friday, December 10th, 2021

By GREG MENGELT There have been some good games so far. Some fantastic finishes. (Shout out, Big Boy Dobbs!). Some stellar matchups.

Wednesday, December 8th, 2021

By GREG MENGELT After going 6-18 last year, the Scottsburg Warriors are the surprise team of the early part of the 2021-22 season. There was certainly buzz coming out of Scottsburg about the this year’s team, but few expected the Warriors to start the season with a 29-point win over Austin, a 19-point win over […]

SATURDAY’S GIRLS’ GAMES | New Albany gets shot at HHC favorite BNL

Saturday, December 4th, 2021

By GREG MENGELT Jeffersonville and Jennings County had their shots at Bedford North Lawrence. The fourth-ranked Stars shoved both aside. After the New Year, defending Hoosier Hills Conference champion Columbus East (8-1) will have its shot to upset BNL like it did last year. But Saturday is New Albany’s turn. The Bulldogs (4-5) are 4-5 […]
