Lady Eagles deliver Coach
Brian Samples his 100th career win
Gary Franklin - Sports Editor
Championship night for the Lady Eagles of Jac-Cen-Del High
School held even more meaning as their coach, Brian Samples,
would attain a 100th career victory milestone in his coaching
career. Winning their championship game in the 2007 IHSAA
Class 1A Sectional warranted it.
By a score of 3-2, the Lady Eagles came through in their home
at bat of the 7th inning to put the winning run across the
plate.
Lady Eagle junior, Kara Harlemert, paved the way with a lead
off triple. She was replaced on the base by junior Abby Morehead,
who was put in the game to possibly steal home.
Two batters later, the Lady Eagles' shining moment began to
dim with two outs and a runner anxiously awaiting the opportunity
to cross the plate for the victory.
Sophomore Valorie Wagner stepped into the batters box to blister
the second delivered pitch, driving the winning run home.

team "takes one on the chin"
Gary Franklin, Sports Editor
The Raiders Varsity Baseball Team were closing in on their
second straight undefeated ORVC season with 10 of the 12 games
of this season behind them. However, as the saying goes, "til
the fat lady sings'. The Raiders fell victim to the Switzerland
County Pacers on Monday, May 21, by a score of 5-4 at the
SCHS baseball field.
Rebounding from the loss, the Raiders quickly got themselves
back on track with a final ORVC season game win by defeating
the Milan Indians 11-3.
The Raider regular season schedule will come to a close as
they battle the Jennings County Panthers at Forest G. Waters
Field at South Ripley.
The Raiders are slated to play Milan on Wednesday, May 30,
at 7 PM, in Sectional #45 at Switzerland County.

New milestones set by the
2007
Milan Lady Indian Softball Team
Gary Franklin, Sports Editor
Milan Indian Coach Milton Teer and his band of Lady Indian
softball players fell short of the goal they were shooting
for this season, but it was not from a lack of work, effort
nor dedication to their cause.
As Teer puts it, "I couldn't be more proud of the Milan
Lady Indian varsity team. I feel our kids made sacrifices
to get better and they never quit. Our seniors are going to
be missed. (Lacee Alloway and Kristy Teer) Both girls are
hard working kids any coach would love to have on their team.
I am also proud to say that our underclassmen are going to
be fun to coach in the upcoming year. Our season had several
bright spots as this team set school records for our best
conference record at 10-2 and most wins in a season with 18."
The Lady Indians fell to a Southwestern Lady Rebel team at
Switzerland County HS ball park on Monday, May 21, during
the first game of Class 2A, Sectional #44. The final score
was 4-0.
