When I was hired by the Times in October 2019, one of the first events I had the opportunity to cover was the high school cross country state championship...

I wasn’t born here...

Going to and from work while in college, I would often listen to ESPN Radio, specifically SVP and Russillo...

Harden informed me it was in reference to June 18 – the day of the Class 2A state championship, which was stated goal for his group from the beginning of preseason workouts last fall...

For me, driving in the car while listening to country music on a semi-warm, sunny day as winter begins to turn to spring is synonymous with baseball, the sport I played in high school. It takes me back to a time in which I would be heading home from Terre Haute North after finishing up practice at Don Jennings Field...

As the state of Indiana got hit with sub-zero temperatures and piles of snow over the past few days, all 30 Major League Baseball teams’ pitchers and catchers reported to Arizona and Florida for the start of Spring Training...

As we all know, everything in our daily lives are completely different compared to this time one year ago. Tuesday night, I got my first true glimpse of that when it comes to covering Clay County sports. Typically, even during the pandemic, I’m seated either on the baseline of a basketball court or somewhere at the scorer’s table or the media bench directly behind it...

A little over one week before the Vigo County School Corporation Wabash Valley Classic was scheduled to tip off at Terre Haute North and Terre Haute South, a handful of the participating teams were in quarantine due to COVID-19...

A few days ago, I wrote a pre-Wabash Valley Classic column stating I had no idea what to expect at this year’s holiday tournament...

In a normal year, at this point in the holiday season, I’m typically trying to cram as many Christmas movies in as possible due to the lack of nights I’m home because of all the time I’m in high school gyms...

Somehow, it’s been one year since I took over as sports editor at the Brazil Times...

Major League Baseball made an absolute fool of itself. Over the last three months, the team owners, represented by commissioner Rob Manfred, and the players, represented by the Player’s Association and Tony Clark, publicly haggled over money during the same time the country suffered through a pandemic, tens of millions left jobless and protests of social injustice, all while the other major sports leagues (NBA, NHL, MLS, WNBA) put its plans into place to resume play...

For the first time since the middle of April, we don’t have any Senior Spotlights published in The Brazil Times. It ends a long run of honoring those senior student-athletes from Clay City and Northview that missed out on their final spring sports seasons due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic...

While working on a truncated story – due to space – that will run in next week’s special section of The Brazil Times (Note: a different and much longer version will come out a week or so later), I reached out to several coaches around Clay County...

Well, as most of you probably know, the popular ESPN and Netflix 10-part docuseries The Last Dance has concluded. For five straight Sundays, the stories told about Michael Jordan, the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls and the cast of characters that made them into a dynasty captivated so many across the country...

The ninth and tenth episodes of The Last Dance, the ESPN and Netflix 10-part docuseries, are in the rearview mirror. And with this column coming out in the Friday edition of The Brazil Times, there shouldn’t be any spoilers for whoever may be reading my thoughts (if you haven’t watched the first two episodes yet, fold the paper up or minimize your browser, watch them on whichever streaming network you have and then come back to it)...

The seventh and eighth episodes of The Last Dance, the ESPN and Netflix 10-part docuseries, are in the rearview mirror. And with this column coming out in the Friday edition of The Brazil Times, there shouldn’t be any spoilers for whoever may be reading my thoughts (if you haven’t watched the first two episodes yet, fold the paper up or minimize your browser, watch them on whichever streaming network you have and then come back to it)...

The fifth and sixth episodes of The Last Dance, the ESPN and Netflix 10-part docuseries, are in the rearview mirror...

The third and fourth episodes of The Last Dance, the ESPN and Netflix 10-part docuseries, are in the rearview mirror...

Was it nice to have a live sporting event to watch this weekend or what?...
