  • Knights outlast Bethlehem

    A three run outburst in the fifth inning would provide enough cushion for the Marion County High School baseball team to outlast Bethlehem High School 7-5 at Hourigan Field on Monday of last week.

    "We played good at times and awful at times," Head Coach Chad Spalding said.

    Spalding said he and the coaching staff expected inconsistent play to open the season.

    "We had some timely hits that really helped us out," Spalding said.

  • ACRE Program Publication Now Available

    Traditional farm programs have focused on supporting prices rather than revenues (prices multiplied by yields). The new optional Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program addresses declines in state revenue caused from declines in prices and/or yields.

    The inclusion of state yield protection allows for protection from droughts, natural disasters, and floods.  The ACRE program uses market-based prices and state yields in determining revenue instead of government targets, therefore allowing revenue to adjust to current market conditions as they move up and down.

  • Lady Knights lose twice

    Rain stuck around all week, preventing the Marion County High School softball team from getting all their scheduled games in. The waters parted long enough for two games to be squeezed in, though the young Lady Knights (0-2) lost both.

    Stats were not made available before press time. Head Coach Trent Milby was also unavailable for comment before press time.

    The Lady Knights hope to complete their games this week against Fort Knox (Monday), Bethlehem (Tuesday) and Caverna (Thursday).

  • Ego doesn't cloud senior's future

    Sometimes it takes breaking a leg to test the strength of your heart.

    That was the case for Marion County High School senior Eric Miles, who excels on the gridiron, the diamond and in the classroom.

    Clean cut and confident, Miles appears at ease in almost any situation. As baseball Head Coach Chad Spalding said, he makes being a leader look effortless.

    "He's like another coach," Spalding said. "I would feel comfortable leaving him alone to lead practice. I think he could be a good coach at either football or baseball."

     You had your interview day last week (March 23) with the board, and you went around the district. How did that day go for you?
