Marion County came to Springfield Friday night and there was the usual bantering, taunting and teasing going back and forth. And that was just the fans!

To say that Washington and Marion counties enjoy a good old-fashioned rivalry is to grossly understate the situation. It was definitely a lively atmosphere inside the Washington County High School gym as the frenzy reached a fever pitch. In the end, it was the invading Knights who left town with a 57-46 victory.

Human growth hot dogs

Remember the good old days when the most toxic thing a ballplayer would put into their body was a hot dog from the concession stand? Oh, how I long for those bygone days when baseball players bulked up by downing a six-pack with their steak dinner.

SCC Sports Information

The recent weather may not resemble anything spring-like, but the athletic schedules at St. Catharine College indicate that it is time for spring sports to begin. And both SCC softball and baseball will do just that this week.

Students at Washington County Middle School in Springfield are shooting hoops to fight heart disease and stroke, our nation’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers. During the month of February the school will hold its 5th annual Hoops For Heart event.

Students will play basketball to raise funds for the American Heart Association, which funds cardiovascular disease research and public and professional education programs.

Hoops For Heart is co-sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.
