BS: Southmont gets first crack at Crawfordsville in tourney play

 



Staff ReportIt is no
secret that sectional draws are never kind to the Sagamore Conference. That is
because in most sports, baseball included, six of the teams in the league are
in one sectional. That kind of makes it hard to avoid one another. Obviously
this year that problem takes on added meaning for most of the teams in the
conference because they are all trying to avoid top ranked Crawfordsville.

 

Well,
Southmont drew the short stick. The Mounties will get first crack at the mighty
Athenians. It will come in the opening game of the Danville Sectional. The
winner will joust with the winner of a contest between Boone County rivals
Lebanon and Western Boone. Danville and North Montgomery drew into the bye
round.

 

Frankfort
drew Western in the opening round at Northwestern. However, the highly regarded
hosts will likely await the winner of that game. In 2A action, Tri-West will
open against the hosts at the Speedway Sectional.

THE PAPER

GREENCASTLE – Apparently a little rest can make quite the difference for Creasy Clauser.

Southmont’s
senior 800-meter runner raced her way to another record at Tuesday’s
Indiana High School Athletic Association South Putnam Girls Track
Sectional.

Clauser won the 800 and broke the sectional’s
longest-standing record, finishing in 2:14.58 – just .02 seconds ahead
of the previous-best set in 1981 by Greencastle’s Lisa Allen.

Southmont
placed sixth in the team standings, finishing with 40 points.
Brownsburg (148 1/2 points) won the 14-team meet. Crawfordsville
finished 14th with two points.

The top four individuals from each event move on to next week’s IHSAA West Lafayette Regional.

Southmont
track coach Marvin Walters decided to pull Clauser and the rest of
Southmont’s 3,200 relay team out of their event before the meet.

Thanks to some fresher legs, all his runners responded and the plan worked like a charm.

Southmont
sophomore Kylie Lippencott finished second in the 1,600 in a
personal-best 5:15.78. She finished only 1.4 seconds behind Brownsburg
sophomore Madelyn Webster.

They also teamed together on the
Mounties’ third-place 1,600 relay along, with sophomore Shelby Harris
and freshman Stephanie Martin. They finished in a season-best 4:13.21.

“Creasy
was going after the record,” Walters said. “Since we pulled out of
4×800 we thought we’d increase Creasy’s chance and Kylie’s [chance],
plus it’d keep Shelby Harris fresher for the 1,600 relay.”

Junior Kyra Burton and sophomore Cassie Parker also advanced in field events.

Burton finished third in the pole vault, tying her school- and county-record at 9-feet, 6-inches.

But Parker was the biggest surprise.

She placed fourth in the shot put with her 33-5½ throw – breaking her previous best mark by more than two feet.

“When
we left the shot put, we thought Parker was fifth or sixth and did not
know she had moved ahead to qualify,” Walters said. “I don’t think any
of our throwers scored in the county, conference or sectional last
year.”

Lafayette Jefferson Sectional

North Montgomery
sophomore Celia Kauth advanced to regionals, placing second in the high
jump (5-0). She was one inch away from the top spot and the only
Chargers’ athlete to move on.

THE PAPER

LINDEN
– Drew Young’s hot bat combined with Isaac McGaughey’s power pitching
lifted North Montgomery’s baseball team to a blowout win.

Young
totaled team-highs of four hits and four RBI in the Chargers’ 14-4
five-inning win Tuesday over visiting Sagamore Athletic Conference
rival Tri-West.

He also scored two runs and stole a base.

Meanwhile, McGaughey (5-1) had little trouble on Senior Night. He recorded six strikeouts and allowed two walks.

McGaughey also scored three runs, had a hit and stole a base.

North
Montgomery (11-7, 7-3 SAC) stayed patient at the plate. The Chargers
drew nine walks and had four sacrifices. They finished with just seven
hits.

Junior Robert Hinds added three RBI, while junior Cody Nickle had two.

“We
keep talking to the players and telling them to just relax,” Chargers’
coach Matt Voorhees said. “Too many of them are trying to beat the game
itself. They’re overthinking things trying to figure out what they’re
doing wrong instead of just going up and playing the game. When we play
relaxed, we play well.”

Tyler Jackson, Chance Southard, Brandon Dale and McGaughey were honored during Senior Night.

North Montgomery next plays at 6 p.m. Thursday at Tri-West before a home game against North Putnam on Friday.
