Fairboard
confirms records broken in 2013; A day to remember,
By George Starks
DARKE COUNTY — I remember it all well. It was the 2002 Great Darke
County Fair and it was all happening in front of the grandstands.
Harness horse racing and it was a day that records would fall. On that
day, a trotter named Primetime Ranger (trained and driven by Jerry
Landess and owned by Jon Tanner of Winchester, Ind.), would trot the
mile in a blistering time of 2:00 flat. Quite fast for a trotter. Also
on that same day in a mile pace, Prince Sheldon... read

Reds lose
ground in division race as 'pen falters;
Arroyo's
solid start wasted as Brewers rally back late
reds.com - MILWAUKEE -- The Reds were sitting pretty with less than
three innings to play on Sunday, firmly grasping a 5-1 lead against a
Brewers offense that had done essentially nothing through six innings
against starter Bronson Arroyo. Then the wheels fell off. Late walks
turned into late Milwaukee runs, and Carlos Gomez took the air out of
the Reds' dugout with a game-saving catch that elicited déjà vu for the
visitors before Sean Halton sent them packing with a walk-off solo home
run and a knot in their... read

GREENVILLE - It was a match that was described in two ways.1.
Hilarious. 2. Very sad. In a 5-0 loss to Northmont Tuesday, Greenville
coach Brent DeVoss actually referred to the game as a moral victory (if
there is such a thing). “We went up against the third best team in the
in the southwest district,” said DeVoss. This was a moral victory
because we had two goals we wanted to accomplish. We wanted to keep
them at our under five goals and we did that... read
