Press Sports
Even with veteran head coach Don Coady missing much of the time, it was business as usual during Westview’s spring football drills.
Coady, who has had two back surgeries in the past, experienced more of those issues that kept him away from several Charger practices recently. He did attend his team’s first scrimmage at Liberty — maneuvering around on a golf cart — but was unable to see in person Westview’s workout against Dyer County Saturday that signaled the end of the allotted spring practice time.

By MIKE HUTCHENS
Press Sports
Greenfield couldn’t have picked a worse time to have ‘one of those days.’
The Yellowjackets committed an uncharacteristic five errors that made every Clarksburg run unearned and had runners thrown out at both home and third in what was ultimately a 5-4 eight-inning loss to the Rockets Monday that ended G’field’s season.
The disappointing result in the Region 7A Baseball Tournament brought down the curtain on what was an otherwise-stellar campaign that saw the ’Jackets win 27 of 30 games in all and their fourth consecutive District 14A tourney championship.

By MIKE HUTCHENS

Greenfield may not actually “own” the District 14A Baseball Tournament championship trophy; however, the hardware has become part of the school’s decor in recent years.
The Yellowjackets won their fourth consecutive 14A title Thursday with a 9-1 thumping of Trenton in the tourney championship round at Union City’s Elam Stadium.
The win not only secured another in a growing list of district championships for the ‘Jackets, but was also their 12th straight 14A tournament victory and 16th in the past 17 games during the aforementioned run of first-place finishes.
