  • Big rally pushes Titans to 19-0

    The Collins baseball team made it 18 and 19 in a row with a pair of victories on the road last weekend, topping Elizabethtown, 9-2, Friday and rallying to beat Fairdale, 10-7, Saturday.

    Before achieving that 19-0 start to their season, though, the Titans had to score five runs in the top of the seventh to beat the Bulldogs (7-11).

    Zac Wiley’s 2-run double was the go-ahead hit for Collins, which trailed, 3-0, after the first inning, 5-2 after the second and 6-2 after the fourth.

  • Titans fall into too deep a hole

    Come-from-behind victories have been commonplace so far this season for the Collins softball team.

    However most of those have come after some sluggish starts by the Titans.

    Collins had another of the latter but not the former Monday afternoon, when visiting Anderson County rode a 5-run first inning to a 10-4 victory in a key 30th District game.

  • Well-hidden Brown Creeper has...

    The Brown Creeper is certainly one of the most inconspicuous birds in the bird kingdom.

    For any of you that have forested habitat, this 5-1/4 inch long bird with a 7-3/4 inch wide wingspan, probably is hanging out with many of your small flocks of chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, and woodpeckers, especially in the winter months.

    You just are not seeing them because of their coloration and feeding habits.

  • Streak stopped Rockets restart

    The Shelby County baseball team got back on track Wednesday night and also got a little revenge in the process.

  • Rockets’ girls win at wire

    The Shelby County girls’ track & field team squeaked past host Collins by the slimmest of margins Tuesday at the Titans’ All-Comers meet.

    On the flip side, Anderson County outscored Collins, 104-96, in the boys’ meet. Shelby County, which rested many of its top athletes, finished fifth with 19 points.
