Grizzlies eye the table
Around the Region In case you'd forgotten or were unaware, the term "run the table" actually comes from pool. But there's a caveat to that, and Franklin coach Mike Leonard was reminded of that by Lance Marshall, the school's baseball coach. No matter what you do, avoid the 8-ball. That's where the Grizzlies stand after winning at defending HCAC champ Mount St. Joseph. For more, check out Clyde Hughes' Around the Midwest. Being in a leadership role isn't particularly new for Averett quarterback Shan Fairbanks. Although it's his first year as a starter for the Cougars, Fairbanks has been a mentor of sorts for years. Ryan Tipps writes about Fairbanks and his special friendship in this week's Around the Mid-Atlantic. Time management can derail many a promising college career, even before you throw intercollegiate athletics into the mix. That's why what Xander Jones does at Ohio Wesleyan struck Matt Florjancic. He has the story of the three-sport student-athlete in Around the Great Lakes. Anyone trying to derail Mary Hardin-Baylor faces an unenviable task. This week, that falls to Mississippi College. What does coach Norm Joseph have in mind? Wes Anderson finds out in Around the South. In Around the East, Adam Samrov talks to Cortland and Union about their playoff chances and runs down the rest of the region in terms of postseason possibilities. The Boston area has had plenty of sports flavor this season, but with the Patriots, Red Sox and others in the national scene, is there room on the palate for a little spice of Division III? Tom Haley has more in Around the Northeast. That and more in this week's Around the Region. | |
