Augie Grill dominated the Champion Racing Association (CRA) Super Late Model season opening event at Gresham Motorsports Park Saturday.

The Hayden, Ala., driver served notice early that he would be the driver to beat posting fast time in qualifying with a 16.169 second tour of the GMP half-mile oval.

Grill started third on the 26-car starting field after the post-qualifying inversion and wasted little time moving to the front taking the lead from Ryan Lawler on Lap 16. [Full Story »]

They call it March Madness.

One of college sports greatest spectacles begins Thursday as the NCAA men’s basketball tournament cranks up in earnest. (OK, I realize technically it started Tuesday night with the extra play-in game, but we won’t concern ourselves with that.)

Big-time college football continues to try and convince us that the BCS (always known here by it’s appropriate name – the “BS” series) is the way to determine a national champion. What a complete joke and sham that continues to be each season. [Full Story »]

On paper, Monday’s baseball game between Winder-Barrow High School and Apalachee High School wasn’t going to be close.

The Diamond Bulldoggs had rolled to a 7-0 record and a No. 2 spot in the Class AAAA state poll. AHS, meanwhile, had posted three wins, and was continuing to try and find its place among the elite teams in Region 8-AAAA.

By the time it was all over late Monday, the host Wildcats had shown why athletic contests are not played on paper as they defeated county and region rival WBHS 8-6.

AHS rallied from an early deficit and then powered its way to the victory, using timely offense and strong pitching to get the job done.

For Wildcat coach Mike Cavey, the win couldn’t help but bring a smile to his face.

The Apalachee High School baseball team will look to put an end to Winder-Barrow's perfect start to the 2010 baseball season Monday afternoon when the county and region rivals class at 5:30 p.m.

The Diamond Cats will host WBHS, who enters the game a perfect 7-0 overall and 1-0 in Region 8-AAAA. AHS is 3-3 and 0-1 in region play.

It will be the first time either team has taken the field for competition since last Tuesday as rain has prevented play since.
