Lady Eagle claims lime light once again

Gary Franklin - Sports Editor
JCD Lady Eagle athlete, Kiersten Young, basketball player in this instance, has earned her spot as one of the Top 100 girl ball players as an underclassman for her performance over the past season.
Having been selected by the Indiana High School Athletic Association and Indiana Basketball Coaches Association, she has been invited to participate in a workout at Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis on July 14 withthe other 99 selected.
The Lady Eagle season fell short of their expectations last season, but hard work by those on the team such as Young will propel them to great things again once the new season begins.

Milan Babe Ruth Team #2 traveled to JCD for their last game of the summer play-off. Milan had three of the last four teams left in the play-off contention at the close of the 2007 season. Players, coaches and fans were pleased with the continuation of improving individual as well as team play by the Milan youth. Prospects for a collectively more positive high school baseball team effort are higher than they have been for some time on Warpath Drive. Milan Team #2 photo unavailable.
