Here I am, humbly eating my crow. Yep, I did it again!
Last week I wrote a column about a mysterious electric toothbrush that had been living at my house for a few weeks. Checking all my sources, I decided it belong to my grandson, Mason. Mason and Tarra were here a couple of weeks ago and I reminded Mason to take it home. That’s when he announced to me that it wasn’t his.
The PORTA-AC Central boys’ basketball team’s season ended last week with a semifinal loss to the Riverton Hawks in the Athens Regional.
The Bluejays had snapped a lengthy season ending losing streak with a nice first round win over arch-rival Athens at their place to advance. The Jays could not get their offense on track in the loss to Riverton and fell by a final score of 46 to 30. They found themselves within striking distance, down 34 to 24 after three quarters but the offensive struggles continued in the fourth ending their season. PORTA-AC finished with a 13-19 record.
Playing for the second time in a week, the Triopia-Meredosia-Virginia boys basketball team lost again to the South County Vipers, this time ending the Trojan’s season in the regional semi-final game. The loss followed an opening round crushing of Brown County by the Trojans.
Three of the four Cass County seventh grade volleyball teams’ seasons ended last week in regional play.

The AC Central eighth grade team is the four seed in the Calvary Regional and open play on Saturday, March 2 at 9:00 a.m. against Jacksonville Our Savior. If they win, they play the host team later in the day at approximately 12:00 p.m.
