You say the title to this blog too many times early on a Monday and you'll start to sound like Porky Pig. (At least, I felt like I was hearing the Looney Tunes staple in my head.)It's always a good idea to look back on the weekend that was in and around high school sports. And aside from Spring Breakers coming back to frigid temps, there were a few headline makers over the weekend...
- North Central boys basketball coach Dough Mitchell coached the USA basketball team at the 11th Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, Ore. over the weekend. The U.S. team featured many of the top senior high school players in the country. USA won 98-78 over the World Select Team.
- Sticking with hoops for a moment, one of Central Indiana's own is coming home. Robert Glenn, a 6-foot-7 forward and 2006 Ben Davis graduate, made an oral commitment over the weekend to play basketball at IUPUI. Glenn played the last two seasons at Wabash Valley College and received Division-I All-America honorable mention at the junior college level, leading WVC with 19.3 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.
- The Indiana School for the Deaf boys basketball team received the distinguished honor of National Deaf Interscholastic Athletics Council Co-Team of the Year, and award the school will share with Alabama Deaf.
- Swimming season may be over, but that's not stopping Hamilton Southeastern senior Lindsay Rogers from pursuing a dream. Rogers won the Ohio State Grand Prix in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 1 minute, 10.23 seconds. That time puts Rogers among the world 50 fastest swimmers for the 100. The grand prix series, organized by USA Swimming in order to prepare for the Olympic Trials, is a step for Rogers towards her dream of competing in the Beijing, China Olympics this summer. Rogers had already qualified for the trials, to be held June 29 in Omaha, Neb., and is now just 2.5 seconds below the qualifying time. She is ranked 19th in the United States.
