  • EARLIER: Marion County 30, Collins 27: Long drives overcome Titans’ quick scores

    Coach Jerry Lucas said he hopes his Collins High School football team learns as much or more from a 30-27 loss to Marion County than it did from winning its first two games.

    The Titans (2-1) and the host Knights (1-1) squared off in a Class 4A District-4 powerhouse matchup last Friday night, with Lucas’ squad coming up on the short end despite four touchdown passes from senior quarterback Branden Cresap.

    SCHS (0-3) led a team for the first time this season when senior running back Quinten Cottrell scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter, and an opportunistic defense held the Hawks at bay for a 7-0 lead at the intermission.

  • WICHE: Crabgrass’s history reveals its multiple uses

    I heard someone lamenting their crabgrass the other day; they were convinced that this was the worst year ever.
