  • COLUMN: Give us expansion

    Why are we so afraid of change?

    In 2010, the NCAA was very close to expanding its tournament to 96 games.

    Quite possibly because of the ever-increasing cries of heresy among fans, though, that change never came. We instead had to settle for the current 68-team format.

    But that’s just not enough.

  • Commanderettes lose three, pick up win vs. Bryan Station

    Bryan Station
    With his team looking to snap a three-game losing streak, head coach Paul Coulter wanted his Washington County Commanderettes (3-3) to concentrate on the mental aspect of the game.

    They had been outscored 19-1 in their previous two games, and he approached his five seniors before Saturday’s contest with the Bryan Station Lady Defenders (3-4) to make sure his squad would be “tough enough” and would play as a team.

    The result? A 14-6 WC victory.

    Last week proved to be a tough slate of games for the Washington County Commanders (2-5), a disappointing stretch that was capped off last Saturday in an 11-0 loss to the Allen County-Scottsville Patriots (3-6).

    With senior Adam Smith on the mound for WC, both teams were scoreless after two innings, but the Patriots broke the game open in the third frame.
