PORTA-AC Central senior golfer Brady Kinney has qualified for the IHSA Class 1A State Finals by shooting an 82 in the Auburn Sectional. Kinney claimed the Auburn Sectional’s final individual spot and will compete in the finals starting on Friday, October 6 at Prairie Vista Golf Course in Bloomington.
After blasting eighteen hits and scoring eighteen runs in an opening round win in the IESA Class 2A baseball regionals, the Virginia-Triopia-Meredosia middle school baseball team’s bats fell relatively silent in a semi-final loss to Athens. The Redbirds scored three runs in the first two innings but did not score again and the Warriors pulled away for a 13 to 3 win to end the season for VTM. In the opening round game, the Redbirds put Illini Central away early, exploding for fifteen runs in the bottom of the first and cruising to an 18 to 3 win. They added three in the bottom of the third to end it early. Graycen Embley, Natha Ayres, Cosmo Browning, Charlie Roegge, Avery Neathery and Nate Strubbe, all banged out two hits in the win. Ryker Howe, Ben Meyer, Chase VanMeter, Austin Thurman, Parker Kinstle and Carson Nergenah, all chipped in with one base knock.
The good weather led to a five-game week for the Virginia/Triopia/Meredosia/Chambersburg J.H. Baseball team, and they picked up two wins for their efforts. A nine to three home loss on Monday to Our Saviours of Jacksonville started the week for the Redbirds. Jacksonville outhit the Birds nine to four and Virginia committed three errors in the game. Ryker Howe and Avery Neathery each had two hits and Cosmo Browning drew two walks in the loss.
