The boys varsity baseball team is on a hot streak, beating their last 8 opponents by a combined score of 93-20. The teams they’ve beaten on the streak include North Harrison, Cannelton, and Clarksville as well as conference opponents Paoli (twice), Mitchell, Orleans, and Crawford County. The secret to their success is likely their strong performance on offense (averaging over 10 runs a game), paired with some stout defensive plays. The players have been building their team chemistry since conditioning started and plan to come in and play their game against conference rival Springs Valley this Thursday. The Commodores are 4-0 in the conference and a win against Springs Valley would put them a step closer to their goal of the title of 2023 PLAC Champions. We wish the boys’ team all the best!

The varsity boys basketball team had a challenging season, ending with a record of 7-17. However, they had two big wins against conference rivals, Crawford and Mitchell, which showed the team's potential when they were healthy and playing their best. At the end of the season, the team gave out their awards. Lucas Mitchell was named the team MVP, showing his leadership and ability to step up when needed, along with his consistently stout defensive performances. Jared Wagner was recognized as the most improved player, seeing more and more time on the court as the season progressed. Carson Guillaume was given the mental attitude award for his positive attitude and great work ethic. Coach Litherland encouraged the players to push themselves to be the best they could be and to never give up, even when faced with challenges. Throughout the season, the team showed growth and improvement, becoming more confident in the system that the coaches had in place. Younger players stepped up and took on bigger roles, showing their potential for the future. One of the biggest improvements for the team was in their team culture. The players worked hard to create a positive and supportive environment, which helped them to come together and play as a team. Despite the tough season, Coach Litherland will always remember how hard the players worked each day. Their dedication and perseverance were inspiring, and he believes that they will continue to grow and improve in the future.
The girls JV basketball team had a successful season with a record of 11-7. They secured big wins against Southridge and South Spencer, potentially being the only JV team to beat South Spencer. The team faced adversity early on, when their point guard, Celena Peter, turned her ankle and missed a few games as she recovered. This setback helped the other players to step up and learn to lead the team. Furthermore, the team also had to adjust when a leading shooter, Teyah Mullis, began making the transition to playing more varsity time and less JV. Despite these challenges, the team learned to work as a unit and improved their communication throughout the season. It is evident that the players put in an impressive amount of dedication into the season. The season had some funny moments, such as airballing free throws and missing open layups that the girls can look back on and can laugh about now! Overall, the JV team should be proud of their accomplishments and growth throughout the season.
Coach Barnett voiced, “It truly was a joy to work with these girls. I learned a lot from them, and I hope they learned a lot from me.”

The girls varsity basketball team had a challenging season this year with a record of 6-17, but down the final stretch of the season they had some huge wins that surely made it memorable. The team had two wins in conference against Springs Valley and a double overtime win at Orleans, where Katie Lynch made a buzzer-beating deep three that set the tone going into the second half. In fact, this double overtime win had the players so hyped up that they soaked Coach Elliott in water in celebration. Two other wins worth noting were against South Spencer and beating Tell City on Senior Night. The team showed improvement from the start to the end of the season. They started playing better basketball towards the end of the season and stayed healthy, and one of the biggest team improvements was taking care of the ball. Maggie Cunningham led the team in points per game and rebounds this year. Coach Elliott had positive things to say about the team, remarking, “They are a great group of young ladies who will do great things in life.” Overall, the season was memorable for the team. Despite the record, the team showed resilience and positive attitudes throughout the season, and we have high hopes for their future success.
