DJ Veldman and Shannon Hendricks scored 1st half goals as Marian defeated Providence 2-0 in Indianapolis to capture the first girls soccer state title in Marian history.
Congratulations to Mishawaka sophomore Anna Rohrer, who won the cross country state championship with a state meet record time of 17 minutes and 13.2 seconds.
South Bend St. Joe has plenty reasons to be spirited. The Indians football team plays for a spot in the 3A sectional finals Friday, while on Saturday the volleyball team is in Semi-State and the girls soccer team plays for a state championship.
Ask Gabby Veldman what it will feel like to finish her career as a state champion and Marian's all-time leading scorer in girls soccer will likely not be able to find the words.
The Sectional Semifinal matchup Friday night between Central and Adams in 5A is a fitting one. Both teams are having fabulous seasons after having many years of frustration. In many ways, they are the two best stories in all of Northern Indiana.
In 2009? Two wins. In 2010? Two wins and shut out in the first round of sectionals. In 2011? You guessed it—two wins. Shutout in sectionals again.
The 2012 Adams Eagles? Eight* wins and counting
Congratulations to Penn, Memorial, St. Joe, Fairfield, Rochester and Westview all of whom won sectional championships in volleyball on Saturday with wins in the morning and at night.
The Penn Kingsmen captured the Week 9 16 Spirit Award for showing the most school spirit on last week's edition of Friday Night Football. Now, they look to ride the momentum Friday Night in the sectional opener at Warsaw.
The Edwardsburg Eddies are all about victories this week. The Eddies took home the week 8 16 Spirit Award. Friday night they shoot for a conference championship when they go on the road to battle undefeated Dowagiac.
Four days after the War by the Shore, the debate over whether St. Joe scored a game winning touchdown on Lakeshore in the final minute of last Friday's game continues.
Friday night, the Warsaw football team looks to win at least a share of the Northern Lakes Conference championship for the first time since winning it three years in a row from 1999-2001.
Lakeshore's Mike Adams scored with 1:19 left in the game and St. Joe failed to score on 4th and goal in the final 30 seconds as the Lancers won a thriller 28-24 to give coach Denny Dock his 250th career win.
Undefeated Lakeshore plays host to arch rival St. Joe Friday night in the War by the Shore. The Lancers (6-0) know their perfect season will be reduced to virtually nothing if they lose this game. The talk of the town would turn to the 3-3 Bears.
After years of not having any local players, the Notre Dame men's basketball team will soon have two. Now they have two in Marian's Demetrius Jackson and Penn's Austin Torres.
