Jay up to 8th (12/05/06)
There was just one change in the Class 3A poll this week, and it involved Jay County.
All 10 ranked teams stayed undefeated, leaving the group intact. But there was a slight shift as the voters moved the Patriots up one spot.
Jay County switched places with Evansville Mater Dei, moving up to eighth in The Associated Press poll released today.
The Patriots, who topped Bellmont by 19 points Friday and Blackford by 18 Saturday to improve to 3-0, finished with 94 points to Mater Dei's 75. Wawasee, which Jay County defeated in the 2006 regional championship, was seventh with 104.
Defending state champion New Castle, which defeated JCHS in the 2006 state final, remained in the top spot with 11 of 12 first-place votes and 238 out of a possible 240 points. Evansville Bosse (199) was second.
The top teams in the other three classes remained the same with Indianapolis North Central in Class 4A, Forest Park in Class 2A and Barr-Reeve in Class A.
Jay County will look to post its best start in school history - 5-0 - this weekend when it visits Tipton Friday and South Adams Saturday.
The Patriot girls team (5-1) dropped out of the Class 3A poll by the Indiana Coaches of Girls Sports Association this week. They were 14th in the voting last week, but slipped after falling 50-49 Nov. 26 to Bluffton.
Star grapplers win invite
BERNE - The Starfire wrestling team defeated every opponent by double digits Saturday in winning its South Adams Invitational.
The closest victory for SAHS on the day came by a 48-36 score over Eastbrook. It also defeated Northwestern 50-27, Harding 60-14, Eastside 61-9 and Union City 48-31.
Chase Sprunger (125) had an outstanding day as he was the only Starfire to wrestle five matches and win them all. Four of his wins came on pins, including a 19-second victory over Oscar Calderon of Union City.
Stephen Hirschy (215) went 4-1 for South Adams, scoring each of his victories with pins. Adding three wins apiece were Jim Marbach (130), John Striker (135), Dustin Ehr (152) and Josh Kimberlin (189).
FR freshmen fall
FORT RECOVERY - The Midwest Athletic Conference opener for the Fort Recovery freshman boys basketball team was no better than the season opener as the Indians fell 36-31 Monday to the Versailles Tigers.
Craig Tobe had seven points and three rebounds for the Tribe, which dropped to 0-2. Cody Fiely scored eight points, Michael Gaerke had seven points and Nate Keller grabbed seven boards.
Eagle 8th drops W-D
GASTON - Two players scored in double figures for the West Jay Middle School eighth grade girls basketball team as it rolled to a 29-16 victory Monday over the Wes-Del Warriors. The seventh grade Eagles fell 23-13.
Melynda Brackman and Annie Jetmore took care of most of the scoring for the West Jay eighth graders, finishing with 13 and 11 points respectively.
Marissa Murrell paced the WJMS seventh grade team with five points. Jessi Chittum, Melinda Penrod and Megan Sawyer each scored two points.[[In-content Ad]]
