You know those times when it seems like you can't remember what you just did 20 minutes ago? Yeah, that's me...all week.

It's been kind of nice, in a way, to sort of hop from station to station (literally and figuratively) while Brian soaks up his vacation (unintentional rhyme, really). I think you can tell I'm losing it a little bit...but I've gotten sort of territorial this week in the office and Brian doesn't know it. It'll be like watching the Discovery Channel in here next week, re-introducing a species (Brian) to its native home (the office) after its former ally (me) has been left cold to fend for itself.

Now that my random thoughts are out of the way, let's get to some business. Spring sports are busy. Here's some things to chew on:


  • Perry Meridian quarterback Adam Wiese, whom we featured in our October issue, has signed a Letter of Intent to continue his playing career at Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn. this fall. Lambuth is currently an NAIA school, but is scheduled to become NCAA Division II in 2010. Wiese threw for over 2,100 yards and 16 touchdowns this season, and will be playing in July's Grange Insurance All-Star Classic.
  • The Zionsville girls tennis team has bumped up to No. 5 in the Coaches' top 20 this week, up four spots thanks to an impressive run. The Eagles hosted an April 26 tournament in which they beat then-No. 6 Brebeuf and then-No. 5 Center Grove. The week prior, on April 19, Zionsville took second out of eight teams in a loaded field at the Park Tudor Invite, as seniors Danielle Hansen (No. 1 singles) and Margo Harrington (No. 2 singles) lead the way. Other hot teams in girls tennis include Park Tudor and a young but extremely dangerous Carmel squad.
  • City tournaments and Marion County tournaments are abound this week and next. Cathedral, ranked No. 1, recently took the City title in boys golf with an absurd four-round total of 284, led by Henry Plager's 2-under 70. Scecina softball will be going for its fifth straight City title, set to play Ritter in the semis on Saturday. The winner of that game will play the winner between Cathedral and Chatard in the 4 p.m. championship game at Brookside Park. The Marion County tourneys in softball and baseball also get started today, with the softball title on Monday at Ben Davis and baseball title on Thursday at Victory Field. No word on what happens when all of today's games get rained out (sorry, but it's all but guaranteed).
  • Brownsburg baseball might be able to call itself the hottest team in the state for the moment, save for Crown Point. The 4A No. 2 Bulldogs swept a home-and-home with No. 7 Avon, taking out the Orioles 12-4 on Wednesday and 16-4 last evening. Mark Conover did some damage, knocking a homer in Wednesday's game followed by a grand slam in Thursday's game along with getting the win on the mound. Not too shabby.

That's all for now. If you have any notes about a school you follow, something newsworthy, always feel free to contact us at letters.centralindiana@hsstm.com. We'll do our best to get you some pub somewhere. Hope most of you, if not all, enjoyed the May issue, currently flying off the shelves at your local Marsh or Blockbuster. Happy Friday to all and have a great weekend.
