Shelby County’s Brandon Brown took Wichita by storm this past weekend.

Brown finished tied for ninth at Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open on the Nationwide Tour, by far his best finish of the year.

“I wasn’t real surprised because I’ve played well out here,” Brown said of his four events on the Nationwide Tour. “I made the cut twice, and really even in the two where I missed the cut, I had a chance to make it. I’ve just had a couple of holes with big numbers that cost me.

Though Shelbyville American Legion Post 37 dropped its first two games and was eliminated from the Mid-South Regional in Enid, Okla., last week, Coach Jim Wiley said he's still proud of his baseball team.

"I'm not upset," he said. "I'm disappointed that we didn't go out there and beat somebody, but we're still state champs, and you can't take that great accomplishment away from these kids. That's something they can be very proud of."

The Shelbyville American Legion Post 37 baseball team struck first but didn’t have the firepower to hang with host Enid, Okla., losing, 18-4, in a seven-inning loss in the first round of the Mid-South Regional Tournament Thursday.

Jordan Toby’s single scored Dylan Grandon in the bottom of the second, and James Wright’s infield single scored Eric Standafer to put Shelby in front, 2-0.

The Shelbyville American Legion Post 37 baseball team wrapped up its fifth state championship this past weekend. Though that seems like a lot, it pales in comparison to the team’s next opponent.

Enid, Okla., the host squad of this year’s Mid-South Regional, is a 12-time state champ. Though it didn’t win this season, it did win consecutive titles from 2005 to 2008, so experience is on the side of the host team this week.
