  • St. Elmo beats Patoka to advance...

    ST. ELMO – Eagles coach Greg Feezel was not expecting his team to produce a 38-point blowout in the first round of the regional tournament on Monday.

    But that’s what happened, as St. Elmo soared to a 67-29 win against Patoka.

    “I was (actually) concerned, because we just got done playing Beecher (City), we hadn’t seen Patoka in a while and we had Altamont lurking,” Feezel said. “I thought, ‘I hope we don’t overlook (them).’”

  • Lady Cougars bow out in second...

    Dalton Rogers died in his home last Wednesday morning. He played baseball for the Cougars in the fall.

    The basketball game was very slow to develop, however, as the Cougars trailed the Warriors, 12-8, at halftime.
