Kegler's Korner: Scamihorn still a force around lanes
Jay Scamihorn has been a frequent high scorer in senior — that’s older folks! — leagues in recent years, frequently recognized for high game or high series (usually both).
Rub of the Green: Course architect Pete Dye has had lasting impression on game
It would seem that the more you learn about Pete Dye, the golf course architect, the more there is to admire about the man. It was decades ago when Dye determined that the insurance business was not for him, and he decided to begin designing golf courses. Even Pete, himself, in all likelihood, couldn’t have known the impact he was going to make on the golf world.
COLTS BULLETIN: Jackson on injured reserve for remainder of season
The injury bug continues to haunt the Indianapolis Colts. Team officials confirmed today that cornerback Marlin Jackson has been placed on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

From The Press Box: Best record in the AFC, but are Colts the AFC’s best?
The evidence is going to be there in black and white in the National Football League standings on Page B2 today. After the Indianapolis Colts defeated the San Francisco 49ers 18-14 at Lucas Oil Stadium, and after the Baltimore Ravens knocked the surprising Denver Broncos from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 30-7 victory on Sunday, the Colts have the AFC’s best record at 7-0.
CRAIG PEARSON: North has strong history in cross country state finals
Vigo County is home to just four IHSAA state championships in team sports. Most recently, Terre Haute South won girls titles in basketball (2002) and tennis (2001).
Amey Takes Aim: You don’t have to look far for inspirational Valley teams
This is a weekend when it would be nice if I could be two places at once — three if you count trick or treating — so I’m going to have to ask a favor of you. As many of you as possible need to get out to LaVern Gibson Championship Course on Saturday to support Terre Haute North’s teams in the high school cross country state championship meet.
