BT: Two Cards compete at Hoosier State Relays

Posted on 24 March 2010 by .

 

Two qualifiers from the boys’ track and field team, senior Trevor Young and sophomore Cameron Turner, competed in the Hoosier State Relays at Purdue University, on Saturday March 20. Young, who competed in the pole vault, placed 3rd and was one inch short of tying the school record.


“He should clear fifteen feet this season,” said Southport head coach Nathan Fishel.


Turner competed in the 55-meter dash and long jump this year in his debut appearance at HSR, though he did not score in either event.


“It’s an improvement from last season, and that’s what you look for,” said Fishel.


The Cardinals are scheduled to compete at New Palestine against New Palestine and Perry Meridian on Wednesday, March 24.

BT: Cards compete at Wabash Invitational

Posted on 12 March 2010 by .

 

The boys track team competed in an indoor invitational at Wabash College on Tuesday, March 9th.


All pre-season indoor meets are not scored officially.  Instead, they serve as qualifiers for the Hoosier State Relays, which take place on Saturday, March 20 at Purdue.


Sophomore Cameron Turner qualified for the Hoosier State Relays in the long jump, and came up just short of qualification in the 55-meter dash. He was Southport’s sole qualifier Tuesday.


“We had a lot of ‘almost qualifiers,’” said head coach Nathan Fishel in an interview on Wednesday.


Senior Trevor Young, who qualified for the Relays in a meet at Indiana Wesleyan on March 5th, cleared fourteen feet in the pole vault, on his way to an attempt at the school record. Senior Tim Mosier won the 3200-meter run.


The Cardinals are scheduled to compete next in another indoor meet in Lafayette, on Saturday, March 13th.

BT: Senior qualifies for indoor state

Posted on 11 March 2010 by .

 

The Southport boys’ track and field team kicked off their indoor season on Friday, March 5th, at Indiana Wesleyan University. The meet, along with a slew of other indoor meets around the state, serves as a qualifier for the Hoosier State Relays, an elite statewide competition which is the indoor track equivalent of a state meet. Team scores are not recorded at these meets.


The Relays are scheduled to be held on March 20th, at Purdue University.


Southport senior Trevor Young was the only Cardinal on the boys’ team to qualify for the Hoosier State Relays. Young, a pole vaulter, said he has high hopes for the season.


“I’ve never done this well at the first meet,” Young said in an amiably-given interview earlier today. He hopes to be one of the top competitors in the state tournament this season.

BB: Cards get big win

Posted on 04 March 2010 by .

 

The Southport Cardinals boy’s basketball team took the court at Greenwood Community High School last night against the heavily favored and 7th ranked Center Grove Trojans and walked away winners of one of the biggest upsets of the season, 72-69. The Cards came in with a 4-15 record in comparison to Center Grove’s impressive 17-2 record. Southport controlled the entire game, keeping a slim lead on the Trojans throughout the entire second half, and hit free throws down the stretch to secure the win.


Southport sophomore Kellon Thomas led all scorers with 33 points, with sophomore Mike Ramey adding 21 points for the Cardinals.


“It felt good,” said Thomas.  “All we’ve been talking about is winning this sectional and taking it one game at a time.”


Southport will try to continue this momentum throughout the rest of the tournament when they take on Franklin Community on Friday.


“We played Franklin in our second game of the season and came out a little over confident, and they took care of business,” said Cardinal assistant coach Mark Stephens. “But this time around, 18 games into the season, I think we’ve grown a lot and matured throughout the season.”


Tip-off is at 6 p.m. at Greenwood Community High School.
